This matcha bowl with warm, soft texture transforms beautifully with use over time. The light pink pattern resembles sakura petals.

Crafted by Meizen Kiln, this bowl features fine crack patterns called kannyu (crazing) that form during firing. As you use the bowl, tea seeps into these cracks, developing a unique patina. This gradual transformation is known as "Hagi no nanabake" (the Seven Transformations of Hagi). Perfect for matcha or any tea, this is a bowl that "grows" with you.

Hagi ware is a traditional Japanese pottery from Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with over 400 years of history. Alongside Raku ware and Karatsu ware, it's treasured as one of Japan's three major tea ceramics. Its simplicity and natural warm tones create a striking contrast with the vibrant green of matcha—highly valued in tea ceremonies for centuries.
