Matchawan graphite - steel kurohagane 460ml

A classic matcha bowl, perfect for preparing matcha tea in the traditional way. Made in the Marui Seito pottery studio in Shigaraki, one of the six oldest pottery centers in Japan. Graphite clay with a metallic steel sheen and handmade – the embodiment of Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics.

Hechimon refers to unconventional items made by craftsmen in Shigaraki - it is a registered trademark of the Marui Seito studio. Just as nature creates diverse forms and each of us has a unique individuality, so “hechimon” dishes are characterized by diversity and each of them is one of a kind. Potters believe that, more than industrial products, they are thought to resemble agricultural products created by nature. Craftsmen produce clay vessels with dedication and creativity, respecting their uniqueness and giving them exceptional forms.
