Matcha Bowl – Aokaede Green Maple with Gold Leaf – Hand-Painted Chawan

Kyo-yaki Matcha Bowl – Aokaede Green Maple with Gold Leaf

An elegant Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware) matcha bowl featuring aokaede (青楓), fresh green maple leaves, accented with delicate gold leaf.

Aokaede refers to the vibrant green leaves of the Japanese maple before they turn red and gold in autumn. In the tea room, aokaede is a refreshing seasonal motif associated with the lush greenery of late spring and early summer.

The fresh green maple leaves bring a sense of coolness and vitality to the bowl, while touches of gold leaf add a subtle brilliance and refinement. The combination creates a chawan that feels seasonal and refreshing, yet elegant enough for a special tea gathering.

The vivid green of whisked matcha complements the aokaede motif beautifully, making the seasonal scenery even more expressive when the bowl is in use.

Especially recommended for May through early summer, this chawan is a beautiful choice for a seasonal chakai, as well as for serving guests during the fresh green season in Japan.
