This is an authentic Japanese Matcha bowl (Chawan) crafted in the traditional Kyoyaki (Kyoto Ware) style. It is a Hira-chawan (flat tea bowl), specifically designed as a "Summer Style" utensil. In the Japanese tea ceremony, the wide and shallow shape is intentionally used during the hot summer months to allow the tea to cool more quickly, providing a refreshing experience for the guests. The bowl features the prestigious "Unkaku" (Cloud and Crane) motif, a design historically revered in the world of tea. The deep black glaze is contrasted with dynamic white slip-work, creating a bold, modern look while maintaining traditional elegance. The rim is beautifully undulating, reminiscent of a mountain range (a style known as Gogaku), which adds a sense of openness and "cool breeze" to the tea setting. The original box includes a management label from "Kyo-Yama" (京・山), a professional tea utensil merchant in Kyoto.
