Overview

This Japanese matcha tea bowl (chawan) is an elegant example of the Enshu-konomi aesthetic, the refined and poetic tea taste associated with Kobori Enshu, one of Japan's most celebrated tea masters. Known as Hana-Tachibana, or Flower Mandarin Orange, this design concept is defined by the dramatic interplay of warm orange earthenware and cool green interior glazing. The bowl arrives with its original wooden storage box, inscribed with the title Enshu-konomi Hana-Tachibana Chawan, lending it clear provenance within the Japanese tea ceremony tradition.
