Matcha bowl Kodaiji (高台寺)

This matcha tea bowl features a design inspired by Kodaiji (高台寺), a historic Zen temple in Kyoto. Kodaiji was founded by Nene, the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and is renowned for its beautiful gardens and its significance in the tea ceremony culture.

The bowl is adorned with traditional Japanese motifs of chrysanthemums (kiku, 菊) and autumn leaves (momiji, 紅葉). The chrysanthemum symbolizes longevity and nobility, while the autumn leaves represent the beauty of nature and the changing seasons. The gold accents add a touch of elegance, enhancing the bowl’s refined and serene aesthetic.

The design, reflecting the tranquility and beauty of Kodaiji, will elevate your tea ceremony experience to a more special and meaningful moment.
