The size is perfect for cradling with both hands. 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. These lovely rabbits are elegantly drawn in a vivid white, outlined in exquisite gold paint.
The artisans at Tanaka Toubou, Nobuo, and Michiko Tanaka specialize in creating unique tea ceremony utensils and daily-use tableware.
