Product description

This chawan is an explosion of mastered life. Against a luminous ochre-yellow background, deep green leaves with precise veins intertwine with large blue-violet fruits, surrounded by areas of gray and mauve scattered with small four-petaled flowers, dotted with an almost surreal meticulousness. Every square centimeter of this bowl is inhabited, thought out, and hand-painted with an attention that commands respect.

This type of polychrome decoration, typical of Kyoto's Kyō-yaki, perfectly illustrates the spirit of Japanese decorative arts from the Edo period: an idealized nature, never realistic but always recognizable, rendered in bold colors and a balanced composition that avoids any clutter despite its apparent richness.

The interior of the bowl reveals an additional surprise: two Japanese calligraphy characters traced in brown on the cream-white background, discreet yet present, like a title placed by the potter on his work. A bowl that is read as much as it is drunk from. Only one piece available, for those who love beauty without restraint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this style of polychrome decoration come from?

It is typical of Kyō-yaki from Kyoto, in the spirit of Japanese decorative arts of the Edo period.

Can this bowl go in the dishwasher?

No, polychrome enamels are fragile; wash it by hand in clean water, with a very soft sponge, without rubbing the painted decoration.

What does the calligraphy inside the bowl represent?

Japanese calligraphy in brown on a creamy white background, in the traditional spirit that links writing and painting.

How to use it?

A chawan is a Japanese tea bowl, here made for matcha, the powdered green tea whisked in hot water.
What it is for: you add the powder and water, whisk with a chasen, then drink straight from the bowl. Its wide shape leaves room for the whisking.
Warm the bowl with hot water before preparing matcha: the bright green of the tea contrasts with the colourful decoration.
Wash by hand in clear water, with a very soft sponge. Never rub the painted decoration and use no abrasive product.
No dishwasher: the polychrome enamels are fragile.
Dry gently with a soft cloth, patting rather than rubbing.
Idea: bring it out for an afternoon tea for two, with a chasen and a small matcha scoop.
Good to know: sift the matcha before adding water for fewer lumps and a finer foam.
