Akazu Tea Bowl

Akazu ware is a traditional style of Japanese pottery with a history of over one thousand years,
originating in the Seto region of Aichi Prefecture.

Renowned as one of the “Six Ancient Kilns of Japan,”
Akazu ware is celebrated for its refined craftsmanship and the use of a wide variety of glazes,
such as iron, ash, and feldspar, which create subtle yet rich tones.

This matcha bowl embodies the calm and timeless beauty of Akazu aesthetics,
making it suitable for both formal tea ceremonies and daily matcha enjoyment.

With continued use, it develops a deeper character,
offering a lasting connection to Japan’s ceramic tradition.
