Kohiki Matcha Bowl
Traditionally made kohiki chawan handmade by Sugawara Kengo in Nara, Japan
$ 168.00
No items found.
The Kohiki (slip-coated) chawan (matcha bowl) is made from dark, iron-rich clay glazed in pale liquified clay called a white slip. Each wheel-thrown bowl reveals the natural warmth and rustic variations characteristic of traditional kohiki pottery. The base is finished with a takenofushi koudai (bamboo-node foot ring), and the rim is shaped with a mutual spout, making it ideal for whisking and pouring matcha.
Sugawara Kengo founded Yōki Kiln near Mount Katsuragi where the Shugendo fire ritual began, which is yet believed to transform the world's corruption into goodness. He applies the Shugendo ritual to his own ritual of transforming the earth's clay into a peaceful tea experience using his wood-fired kiln.
Handmade Japanese tea wares are referred to as Kogei in Japan; the concept that beauty resides in the artisan’s work through nuances, wabi-sabi (irregularities), and defining differences between each piece.
Kohiki wares age gracefully with use and gently absorb the subtle aromas of tea over time. Before the first use, it is recommended to soak the chawan in warm water for 20 minutes allowing moisture to slowly enter the pores. Adding a small amount of rice to the soaking water will help seal the pores (previously boiled rice water is best). After use, simply rinse in lukewarm water and towel-dry.
