EGARATSU Hasami Handmade Matcha Bowl Chawan

Karatsu-yaki Handmade Matcha Chawan

This exquisite EGARATSU (絵唐津) matcha bowl is a timeless example of Karatsu yaki, celebrated for its rustic warmth and quiet sophistication. Handcrafted in Nagasaki Prefecture, each piece embodies the beauty in natural simplicity.

The bowl features a soft grey clay body brushed with expressive iron-painted motifs, depicting grasses swaying in the breeze. These hand-painted designs are the hallmark of Egaratsu, a style that emerged in the late 16th century and continues to capture the serene spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony.

Its balanced form and gentle curves sit comfortably in the hands, making it a joy to whisk and sip from. The natural texture of the clay and glaze gives each piece a unique personality, organic, understated, and full of quiet charm.

Presented in a signed wooden Tomobako (桐箱), this chawan is not only a functional tea vessel but a collectible work of art - a piece that connects the tea drinker to the enduring legacy of Karatsu’s 400-year-old pottery tradition.
