Yoshiyuki Shimizu is not only a master potter - but also an astute student of traditional Japanese clay and glazing techniques. His passion for traveling Japan’s countryside in search of unique clay brought him to the shores of Okinawa - where he discovered the deep black glaze composed of volcanic ash. This unique glaze combined with a 4 day wood firing creates a deep, expressive, and powerfully evocative finish.
This collection of chawan is meant for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, but each piece can also be used more casually in the home. While rustic and sharp, each bowl was crafted to exacting standards, and their apparent simplicity exemplifies the talent and deep understanding that only master craftsmen like Shimizu san possess.
A gift for every ritual—all artist made chawan qualify for a free matcha valued up to $50. Your discount will apply at checkout once a qualifying tea bowl and matcha has been added to your cart.
