Bizenware Matcha Bowl | Shibaoka Tosendo Kiln

**Please note that each one of them has a different taste in the pattern.

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.

Artisan
Shibaoka Tosendo Kiln (柴岡陶泉堂) was founded in 1912 (Taisho 1) by its first-generation master, Kozan (Yonejiro Shibaoka). That same year, under the name Kōzan, he established a Bizen ware pottery workshop. With over a century of history, this kiln continues to uphold the rich traditions of Bizen ware while carrying its legacy forward.
