Japanese Handmade Matcha Bowl - SABIRIKYU Chawan

This exquisite chawan is a testament to the sophisticated heritage of Kyō-yaki (京焼), a tradition defined by its technical excellence and refined aesthetic born in the heart of Japan's ancient capital. Crafted by the celebrated artisan Okamoto Shōzo, this piece elevates the Tsutsu chawan (Cylindrical Tea Bowl) form into a work of meditative elegance.

Key Features & Craftsmanship

1. Imperial Refinement: Unlike the rustic beauty of other traditions, Kyō-yaki is known for its precision and deep connection to the aristocracy and great tea masters who shaped the Chanoyu ceremony in Kyoto
2. Artisan Okamoto Shōshiki: This piece carries the distinction of the master's hand. Shōshiki's work is celebrated for its subtle mastery of form and glaze, where the artistry lies not in flamboyant decoration, but in the perfect execution of classical techniques
3. The Cylindrical Form (Tsutsu): A deeply specialized form, the tall, slender shape is flawlessly executed to provide unparalleled thermal retention, making it the perfect vessel for contemplative warmth during the coldest months

SABIRIKYU Chawan is housed in its original, signed wooden presentation box, complete with the artist’s distinctive calligraphy and seal. The Tomobako (共箱) verifies the piece's authenticity and enhances its value as a collectible.
