This Kyo-yaki matcha bowl, painted with the imperial dolls (dairi-bina) and traditional Hina Matsuri accessories such as drums and fans, is themed around Hina Matsuri. Its vivid overglaze painting and intricate details make it a delight to behold, even when not in use.

Hina Matsuri (Doll Festival) is a traditional Japanese celebration held annually on March 3rd, wishing for the healthy growth and happiness of girls. Families display the imperial dolls and Hina Matsuri accessories to pray for their daughters’ health, education, and future well-being. This tea bowl embodies those wishes, allowing one to enjoy tea while experiencing the richness of Japanese culture and tradition.
