Matcha bowl Shino (志野)

This matcha tea bowl is crafted in the traditional Shino style. Shino ware originated in Japan’s Mino region in the 16th century and is known for its soft white glaze and rustic brushwork. The bowl’s simple yet tasteful design, often featuring natural motifs, is a hallmark of Shino’s understated beauty.

The hand-painted design on this bowl depicts plants, exuding a calm and quiet elegance. The soft texture of the glaze, along with the areas where the clay is exposed, gives the bowl a warm, handcrafted feel.

The Shino technique is deeply connected to the philosophy of the Japanese tea ceremony, and this matcha tea bowl represents serenity and harmony with nature. With its traditional beauty, it is also a practical piece for everyday tea ceremonies, offering a sense of tranquility and natural charm.
