Japanese Fan Hanazume Kutani Matcha Bowl Chawan
This Matcha bowl Chawan is a soft ivory color with a fan motif with traditional patterns such as Shippo pattern and Hanazume.
The "Shippou" is a pattern in which parallel circles of the same size are overlaid one quarter on top of the other, resulting in a continuous combination of a diamond-like shape and a petal-like shape. It signifies peace, happiness, and prosperity of offspring in an endless chain of circles.
"Hanazume" is a typical Kutani Ware design from the Taisho period (1912-1926), meaning "full of flowers," and it is covered with floral designs.
This Matcha bowl uses a technique called "Kannyu" (penetration), which intentionally creates a crack-like pattern that can be seen under the glaze.
Chie Sakurai is a Kutani Ware artist known for creating a wide range of works, from familiar patterns of plants and animals to patterns incorporating traditional patterns.
In order to give a soft atmosphere to her works, she takes the time and effort to create her pieces from underglaze painting to overglaze painting, which is rare among Kutani Ware artists. Her works are both unique and accessible for everyday use, and are sure to touch the hearts of all who see it.
The smooth and thin rim makes it easy to drink matcha. It is also recommended to drink coffee or tea.
With the traditional feel, this Japanese Matcha bowl will be your long-time favorite. Delivered in an original wooden box which makes it a perfect gift for your loved ones.

About kutani ware
Kutani ware is a type of pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years.
It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines.
Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
In the early 1700s, the Kutani kilns were closed, but about 80 years later they were opened and Kutani ware was revived.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
