Handmade Matcha bowl Akebono Sakura

Experience the elegance of Japanese tea culture with this handmade Akebono Sakura Matcha bowl, crafted by master artisan Kondo Seisen (近藤清泉).

Kondo Seisen trained under the first-generation Seisen and inherited the family kiln in 2009.

His expertise lies in Mishimade (三島手), Gohonde (御本手), and openwork carving (透かし彫り), techniques that combine precision with warmth, earning him a strong reputation among collectors and tea ceremony practitioners.

This Kiyomizu-yaki (清水焼) piece showcases the timeless beauty of Kyoto’s pottery tradition, originating from the Gojōzaka district near Kiyomizu Temple, with a history dating back to the 16th century.

Design Highlights

– Softly shifting pale glaze, evoking the gentle light of dawn (Akebono)

– Hand-painted Sakura (cherry blossoms) on both the outside and inside of the bowl

– Artist’s stamp (Kondo Seisen) on the base as a mark of authenticity

A perfect gift for Japanese tea lovers, art collectors, or anyone who appreciates traditional craftsmanship.
