Matcha bowls (chawan) are some of the most personal and expressive pieces in Japanese pottery — no two are ever quite alike. This collection brings together hand-crafted chawan from potters working in Hagi, Iga, Shigaraki, Karatsu, Raku and other traditional kilns, ranging from everyday bowls to collector pieces.
In Japan, the tea ceremony is seen as a social occasion, extending beyond the tea itself to the appreciation of the tea room's decor and the utensils used. Alongside the bowls featured below, you'll also find bamboo tea whisks (chasen) and incense boxes (kougou) used in the ceremony.
The item with  mark, comes in a wooden box. |

Incense boxes used in the tea ceremony can be classified as two types, "furo" and "ro". "Furo" refers to the summer season (May to October). Incense boxes used during this season are made of lacquerware, decorated with summer and autumnal motifs and used to store "dry" incense such as pieces of sandalwood. Boxes used in the winter "ro" season hold "wet" incense (powder rolled into little balls) and are therefore made of porcelain. The incense is placed in the ashes surrounding the charcoals at the beginning of the tea ceremony and emits a pleasant,relaxing aroma. When not in use, the incense box is placed in a special position in the "tokonoma" or alcove. Small and decorative, these boxes make lovely decorations for the home.
