Matcha
A deep, wide chawan provides enough room for the chasen to move back and forth effortlessly, producing froth and dissolving the matcha powder. While traditional Hagi is often known for its milky white or loquat-colored glazes, this chawan features a Celadon glaze, resulting in a vibrant turquoise-blue with a dense network of fine lines called Kannyu (貫入)
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 Hagi Celadon style, 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.
