About Ninsei-Style Pottery

Ninsei-style ceramics are inspired by the work of Nonomura Ninsei, a celebrated Kyoto potter of the 17th century known for his elegant shapes, refined glazes, and colorful overglaze decoration.

His artistic influence remains an important part of the Kyo-yaki tradition.

This beautiful matcha bowl combines the elegance of Ninsei-style pottery with the timeless symbolism of Japanese auspicious motifs.

A wonderful addition to a Japanese tea ceremony collection.
