The Chawan Kenzan Fuji ni Sakura is a handmade and hand-painted matcha bowl made from traditional Kyoyaki ceramics and an expressive work of art by Japanese ceramic master Nakamura Yohei. It combines fine craftsmanship with deeply rooted Japanese symbolism and is ideal for the authentic preparation of matcha.
Kyoyaki (Kyoto ceramics) is one of Japan's finest ceramic traditions and is known for its delicate paintings, artistic expressiveness and high-quality craftsmanship. Each bowl is carefully crafted and individually designed - an expression of Japanese aesthetics and tea ceremony culture.
Nakamura Yohei 's work is characterized by precise hand-painting and harmonious compositions that interpret traditional motifs in a timeless way.
This matcha bowl shows the snow-covered Mount Fuji framed by blossoming cherry trees (sakura). The motif carries a deep cultural meaning:
In the Shinto faith, Mount Fuji is considered a sacred mountain and spiritual symbol of Japan.
The cherry blossom stands for transience, mindfulness and the beauty of the present moment.
Historically, the sakura blossom was also considered a sign of the beginning of rice planting and symbolizes change, hope and a new beginning.
The hand-painted design makes each bowl a unique piece of art for the tea ceremony.
The shape of the chawan was specially developed for whisking matcha. It sits comfortably in the hand and offers enough space for an even, creamy foam.
