Kyo-yaki Matcha Bowl – Bird, Aokaede & Flowing Water

A refreshing Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware) matcha bowl featuring a graceful bird among aokaede (青楓), fresh green maple leaves, accompanied by a flowing water motif.

Aokaede refers to the vibrant green maple leaves seen before they turn to their famous autumn colors. In Japanese seasonal aesthetics, their fresh greenery evokes the beauty of late spring and early summer, while the flowing water (ryūsui, 流水) adds a sense of coolness and movement.

The combination of green maple leaves, flowing water, and the small bird creates a peaceful scene from nature, bringing a refreshing atmosphere to the tea room as the weather begins to warm.

This chawan is particularly well suited for use from May through early summer, making it a beautiful choice for a seasonal chakai or for serving matcha during the warmer months.

The hand-painted decoration reflects the delicate and expressive character of traditional Kyoto ceramics, while the vivid green of matcha complements the fresh seasonal colors of the bowl.
