Matcha Bowl There is a Japanese traditional culture called “SADO (tea ceremony)”. It is a ceremonial way of preparing and drinking matcha, green tea. Certain techniques, knowledge, and manners are required for both servers and guests. Serving and receiving tea in such manner is like a ceremony. Through tea ceremony, Wabi-sabi spirit can be improved. Wabi-sabi is very important in tea ceremony. “Wabi” denotes simplicity, incompleteness, and lack while “Sabi” means things whose beauty stems from age. For example, things that are not gorgeous or prominent but beautiful when watching carefully, such as moss on the ground, tree branches disconnected from the tree trembling in the breeze, and a simple single-flower vase at entrance. The way of tea ceremony embodies the wabi-sabi concept taken to the extreme and is the greatest art developed by the Japanese. Matcha served at tea ceremony is different from other green tea and has rich and full-bodied taste. A special bowl is required to have matcha. The mouth portion of common matcha bowls is big and wide. It makes it easier to mix matcha with a special utensil, and you can enjoy the design of the bowl. Have a try and enjoy matcha with this beautiful bowl. You may feel the spirit of wabi-sabi. Warning Details and colors of the images might be different from ones of real products because the position of ware relative to the fire and the way of covering with a glaze might produce unevenness on the patters and shapes. It may crack or be broken because of sharp temperature change caused by heating it in a cold state soon after taking it out of the refrigerator or soaking it into water while still having heat. Please use a soft sponge not a hard one or steel wool since using cleansers will damage on the surface of tableware. Dishwashable however, it is recommended that you wash your valuable tableware by hand because washing it in a dishwasher may cause it to crack and break. Putting thin cloth or paper between tableware is recommended when the tableware is stacked. It prevents damage from friction of tableware and humidity from filling between tableware.
