Kyo Ware (Kiyomizu-yaki) Matcha Bowl – “Sennari Hyōtan” (Clustered Gourds) in White with Silver Accents
Introducing a beautifully crafted matcha bowl from Kyo ware, featuring the auspicious motif of sennari hyōtan—a multitude of small gourds.
Formed on the potter’s wheel using white clay, the outer surface of the bowl is adorned with countless white gourds densely covering the surface. Each gourd is meticulously hand-painted. Due to the raised white glaze, the gourds appear to float above the surface, creating a richly textured and three-dimensional effect.
Between the gourds, tiny silver dots are delicately applied, adding a refined and elegant sparkle through the use of ginsai (silver decoration).
The sheer intricacy and extraordinary craftsmanship involved in this piece are evident, requiring immense time, precision, and skill.
Despite the abundance of gourds depicted, the use of a monochrome white palette results in a clean, graceful, and serene appearance.
The interior is left completely plain, allowing the vibrant green of the matcha to stand out beautifully.
The sennari hyōtan—a symbol of prosperity due to its many fruits—is considered a highly auspicious motif in Japan, believed to bring good fortune, healthy descendants, financial success, and protection from illness. It is also famously known as the battle standard of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
This matcha bowl is both exquisitely detailed and stylish in design—a refined and elegant piece of functional art.
Lightweight and easy to handle, it also serves as a conversation starter, making it an excellent choice for tea gatherings.
