Chawan (1)
The surface of the tea bowl uses traditional glaze techniques: a blue-grey ground with fine white markings, creating a natural, unassuming yet artistic effect. This is not merely a practical utensil for the tea ceremony but a piece that expresses an Eastern sense of beauty.

The outside of the tea bowl is decorated with hand-painted calligraphy, while the interior is plain and restrained, expressing the simplicity and reserve of Japanese aesthetics.
Chasen with chasen rest:
The chasen is an indispensable tool in the tea ceremony, used to mix matcha powder with water and raise a fine foam. This chasen is made by hand from good-quality bamboo; the workmanship is accomplished, with the fine tines evenly arranged and springy, so that the matcha is whisked well and tastes smoother. It suits everyday use in tea practice and is also a fine piece to keep, expressing the depth of Japanese tea culture.
