Know before you buy
Mishima is a traditional Japanese decorative technique where intricate patterns are inlaid into the clay surface. This creates a subtle, textured design that is both visually striking and deeply rooted in historical ceramic artistry.
Yes, the 11.5 cm diameter provides ample space for a bamboo whisk to move freely, making it an excellent vessel for preparing traditional matcha.
To maintain the integrity of the clay, hand wash the bowl with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive cycles can damage the delicate finish and the artisan's signature.
Red clay is known for its excellent heat retention properties. It will keep your tea warm for longer than standard porcelain, allowing you to enjoy your ritual at a steady pace.
Because each piece is handcrafted and hand-signed by an artisan in Japan, there will be slight variations in the pattern and clay texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of authentic Kyo Yaki craftsmanship.
