Chawan

A deep and wide chawan provides enough room for the chasen to effortlessly move back and forth to produce froth and dissolve the matcha powder. Kizeto is known for its warm yellow glaze and Oribe is the 16th-century tea master who was very spontaneous and expressive. Oribe was known for his asymmetrical forms, vivid green copper glaze, and free, often abstract brushwork.

A deep and wide chawan provides enough room for the chasen to effortlessly move back and forth to produce froth and dissolve the matcha powder. The term Akafuki (赤吹) refers to the red spray or blush of glaze across the bowl. On this bowl, it shifts in tone from deep crimson to dark burgundy, fading into the dark of traditional Tenmoku ware. The color seems to change depending on the light and angle.

This matcha set includes a wide and tall matcha bowl crafted in the Kizeto Oribe style (a warm yellow ochre with patches of deep green), a bamboo whisk (chasen), and a bamboo scoop (chashaku). It's a beautiful and practical setup for preparing matcha the traditional way, with ample space to whisk properly and tools that do the job efficiently.

This matcha set is designed around a Tenmoku-style chawan – a deep, wide bowl with a rich, dark glaze – a blend of Tenmoku tradition and modern Japanese pottery design. The wide, 350ml bowl gives your chasen room to move, allowing you to mix the matcha evenly, while the deep glaze lets you appreciate the color and sheen of the foam.
