Description
This Matchawan draws its inspiration from the sea, a vast and life-giving force that nurtures thousands of living creatures. It reflects the depth of humility and compassion that allows life to thrive in harmony. The story of Taro, a legendary fisherman who selflessly saved the disguised daughter of the Sea Emperor, serves as its guiding tale. In his kindness, Taro rescued the turtle and was gifted with gills to explore the ocean’s boundless freedom. His journey reminds us to let go of judgments, embrace empathy, and act with a conscious heart. Just as the sea embodies infinite possibilities, this Matchawan invites those who hold it to experience a moment of release and inspiration. It is a vessel of freedom, creation, and the endless potential for new beginnings.

Matchawan is a traditional bowl used in the Japanese tea ceremony and makes the matcha preparation very easy. When whisking matcha with a bamboo whisk (chasen) the tall vertical walls of the matchawan help to prevent the water from spilling. The broad bottom of the bowl makes it easy to whisk the powder smoothly inside and quickly obtain the perfect froth on the surface.
