The Bizen Matcha Bowl is a handcrafted tea bowl made in Bizen, Okayama, one of Japan’s oldest and most revered pottery traditions. Bizen ware is known for its rustic, unglazed finish and natural earthy tones, created through a unique high-temperature firing process that brings out organic patterns and textures.
Each bowl is one-of-a-kind, showcasing the artisan’s craftsmanship and the unpredictable beauty of the kiln. The rough yet refined texture enhances the matcha experience, making it easier to whisk and keeping the tea warm while offering a comfortable grip.
Perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or modern tea rituals, this bowl embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetic—finding beauty in imperfection and nature’s simplicity.

ABOUT THE MAKER
Shibaoka Tosendo Kiln | 柴岡陶泉堂 | Bizen, Okayama Prefecture
Shibaoka Tosendo Kiln was founded in 1912 by its first-generation master, Kozan (Yonejiro Shibaoka), who established the workshop under the name Kōzan to create Bizen ware. Rooted in one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions, the kiln has continued for more than a century while carrying forward the spirit and techniques of Bizen craftsmanship.
Known for its unglazed surfaces and natural expressions created through wood firing, Bizen ware reveals subtle variations that emerge through fire, clay, and time — making each piece uniquely individual. Across generations, Shibaoka Tosendo Kiln has continued to preserve these traditions while creating works that remain connected to contemporary life.
