Matcha Bowls
Chanoyu, the Japanese tea
ceremony, celebrates imperfection and variety. No two objects are ever
the same. Every artifact used for the ceremony is noticed and
appreciated. Matcha bowls reflect the ideals of the tea ceremony in
their form, texture and variety. Often associated with seasons, and
type of tea, matcha bowls are an essential component to the Japanese
tea ceremony.
Do not fill the entire bowl with tea, but rather leave most of the
interior to be admired while drinking. Notice how the warm tea bowl
feels in your hands. Is the surface rough, or smooth? How does the
bright green tea look against the black or pink glaze? Bowls are
thought of as an extension of personal expression, find the one that
suits you.
Japanese tea masters were known to use “mei” pet names for their
favorites objects and utensils. This was another way to notice and
appreciate each object used in the tea ceremony.
Our collection changes frequently and quantities are limited. If you see one you like, now is the time to make it your own.
