Shigaraki-yaki Chawan - Handmade Japanese Matcha Bowl | CHIGUSA

CHIGUSA features a deep, charcoal-toned body illuminated by a striking, textured sweep of silvery-grey glaze. This dynamic, organic splash travels across the dark clay like a sudden brushstroke or a cresting wave, creating a captivating visual tension that makes this vessel a true centerpiece for your tea table.

Handcrafted in Shigaraki, one of Japan’s renowned 6 Ancient Kilns, this matcha bowl embodies the raw, natural beauty that defines Shigaraki-yaki. Known for its earthy textures and expressive glazes, Shigaraki ceramics celebrate imperfection, grounding each tea ritual in authenticity.

Its wide, gracefully sloped form is expertly designed for whisking matcha, allowing your bamboo chasen to move freely to build a rich, smooth froth. The tactile surface and perfectly balanced weight make it a joy to cradle in both hands.
