TAKIGUCHI KIHEJI Matcha Bowl

Takiguchi Kiheji creates pottery in Kukuri Ogaya, Kani City, Gifu Prefecture - a region steeped in natural beauty and history, where Shino and Oribe wares were first fired during the Momoyama period. As a former apprentice of the legendary Master Juemon Kato, Kiheji’s artistry reflects a deep connection to tradition. His works harmonize with nature and echo the spirit of ancient potters, exuding a dignified presence paired with a gentle charm that brings joy to those who encounter them.

This chawan is in half-cylindrical shape with straight sides and a flat bottom. Its vertical walls are thoughtfully crafted to contain matcha during whisking, helping to minimize spills and ensure a smooth preparation.

Variations in size, glaze, colour, and texture are natural characteristics that highlight the unique, handcrafted nature of each piece.
