AKAAKA Chawan - Handmade Ceramic Matcha Bowl - Seto Japan

Bring timeless elegance to your Matcha time with the AKAAKA Handmade Matcha Bowl, crafted in Seto, Japan — one of the Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyō) renowned for over a thousand years of pottery heritage.

This chawan is hand-thrown and glazed in warm akaaka (red-brown) tones, evoking the earthy beauty of Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics. Each piece is unique, with subtle variations in glaze depth and texture that tell the story of the kiln and the artisan’s hand.
