A graceful Kyo-yaki (京焼 \/ 清水焼) matcha chawan by Kisui Murata (村田龜水, 1927–2018), a highly respected master of Kyoto ceramics and Grandmaster (Iemoto) of the Kōfū-Reishiki School of Sencha Tea Ceremony. Renowned for his refined sencha teaware, celadon, and white porcelain, Murata's works are admired for their quiet elegance and deep connection to Japanese tea culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful bowl is inspired by the gentle aesthetics of Hagi ware, featuring the celebrated Gohonde (御本手) style. During firing, the glaze naturally develops delicate pinkish-orange blushes, known as gohon, which softly emerge across the creamy white surface. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, making each vessel a unique expression of the kiln's artistry. The subtle crackled glaze, warm ivory body, and naturally flowing colour transitions embody the spirit of wabi-sabi, celebrating beauty born through chance and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicately decorating the exterior are sakura (cherry blossom) motifs, rendered in soft white relief that seem to emerge gently from the glaze. A few blossoms continue inside the bowl, creating a quiet sense of depth and seasonality. In Japanese culture, sakura symbolize renewal, the fleeting beauty of life, and the arrival of spring, making this chawan especially fitting for seasonal tea gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl's balanced proportions and comfortable foot provide a satisfying grip while whisking and enjoying matcha. Its understated elegance reflects the refined sensibilities of Kyoto ceramics while drawing inspiration from the rustic warmth traditionally associated with Hagi-yaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 13 x 13 x 8cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57737070149963,"sku":"TC119","price":33.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_3cbeac23-2d0d-447e-a743-d967e6d633dd.jpg?v=1782899697","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/tc119-chawan-matcha-bowl-by-kisui-murata-%e6%9d%91%e7%94%b0%e9%be%9c%e6%b0%b4","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
