Japan Oribe green Tenmoku Matcha bowl

Oribe ceramics are named after one of Japan's most famous tea masters, Furuta Oribe. The shape of this Chawan is inspired by the classic Tenmoku or Jian bowl, which has been used in Japan and China for over a millennium.

The clay body is made of light clay and is covered with an intense green glaze, although this glaze is slightly different for each specimen.

The clay itself comes from the Seto region and is very typical of the local ceramic tradition. Seto is famous for the variety of styles that have emerged in connection with the Japanese tea ceremony, including the green Oribe style.

Mr. Katô, who makes each bowl by hand, is a nationally known master of his craft. Each bowl is delivered in a Japanese paper box, the lid of which is decorated with a traditional motif.

Care instructions: Even though the bowl is glazed, it should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. Instead, use warm water and, if necessary, a soft sponge.
