Hagi Ware – Cylindrical Matcha Bowl by Koyo Hayashi (Kiln-variation Finish)
This is a handmade cylindrical matcha bowl crafted by Koyo Hayashi, a noted Hagi ware artist.
It is wheel-thrown using Hagi’s characteristic clay, which contains small natural stones. After shaping, the piece is coated with glaze and finished through firing, during which distinct kiln variations (yōhen) have appeared across the surface. The resulting complex and dynamic changes in the glaze are a highlight of this work.
You can observe gray-toned areas where the glaze has transformed, while the interior is generously coated with a white glaze, offering a variety of visual contrasts and subtle nuances.
A “cylindrical tea bowl” (tsutsu-chawan) differs from a standard matcha bowl in that it has a smaller mouth and taller body, resembling a tube—hence its name. It is traditionally used during the cold winter months; the narrower opening reduces exposure to air, helping to keep the matcha warm for longer. This design reflects the thoughtful hospitality of wishing to serve tea that remains warm.
The body of the bowl bears visible wheel marks, and on the front, a natural drip of white glaze adds to its poetic charm. The bowl fits comfortably in the hand, giving a sense of warmth and intimacy.
Fine crackle patterns (kan’nyū) and tiny pinholes can be seen throughout, beautifully expressing the distinctive qualities of Hagi ware.
With continued use, the bowl will undergo subtle transformations known as “Hagi no Shichihenge” (the seven changes of Hagi), allowing you to enjoy its evolving beauty over time.
