This matcha bowl chawan captivates with its stunning motif of gentle red and dark purple clematis. On the inner surface, a single clematis bloom is elegantly poised, allowing one to enjoy the floral design while drinking matcha.

The size of the matcha bowl chawan is perfect for cradling with both hands, allowing the gentle warmth of the matcha to seep through the bowl into your palms gradually. Preparing matcha tea in this handcrafted matcha bowl is sure to foster a sense of calm and relaxation, further enhanced by the rich aroma of the matcha itself.

The designs are hand painted by an artisan at Tanaka Toubou one by one which is a characteristic of Kyo ware. The petals of the clematis are elegantly drawn in red and purple outlined in exquisite gold paint.  

At the foot of "Fushimi Inari Taisha" Shrine, Tanaka Toubou has been open for 35 years. The artisans at Tanaka Toubou, Nobuo, and Michiko Tanaka specialize in creating unique tea ceremony utensils and daily-use tableware.

Nobuo principally creates glazed ware with a black tenmoku glaze that includes at least five percent iron. Meanwhile, Michiko's works capture the essence of each season along with gentle depictions of plants and animals, which connect emotionally to those who admire them.
