This matcha bowl features a charming hand-painted scene of a pair of rabbits—husband and wife—enjoying a peaceful hanami (cherry blossom viewing) beneath blooming sakura trees. Each piece is hand-painted, making every bowl unique with its own character and charm.
Let the gentle image of a spring day in full bloom accompany your tea ritual.
The sides of the bowl are thoughtfully shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, making it very easy to hold. Compared to other matcha bowls, it is also remarkably lightweight — a rare feature in this type of ware, and one of the reasons it's so popular.
Handcrafted from porcelain in Hasami, Nagasaki, its cylindrical shape is ideal for use from winter to spring, with excellent heat retention to keep matcha warm during colder months.
Each bowl comes in a custom wooden box, perfect for gifting or safely storing your matcha bowl while adding an elegant presentation touch.

The reason behind this piece
Where it comes from. Hasami, a porcelain town in Nagasaki with over 400 years of kilns. Its makers built their name on bowls for everyday kitchens rather than for a court, which is why Hasami porcelain is light in the hand and hard to break.
How it is made. Thrown from porcelain, then painted by hand: two rabbits, husband and wife, sitting under cherry trees in full bloom. Because each scene is brushed one bowl at a time, the faces and the fall of the petals differ slightly from piece to piece.
Why the rabbits. In Japan the rabbit is a lucky animal — it only leaps forward — and a pair of them stands for a couple. Hanami, sitting under the blossom with food and drink, is the great spring outing. Together they make a bowl for good news and new beginnings.
How it is used in Japan. A spring tea bowl, brought out from the first warm days until the petals fall. The cylinder shape still holds heat for the cool evenings of early April. It comes in a wooden box, the way a tea bowl is stored and given.
On your table. Matcha, or a dessert bowl for a spring lunch. A natural wedding, anniversary or housewarming gift for a couple. Hand wash; no microwave.
