A true sensory experience begins the moment you hold the ceramic matcha bowl, crafted in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and finished with a soothing Shirashino glaze. This white variant of Shino ware, beloved for its delicate crackle and expressive brushwork, glows as it reflects light. The hand-decorated abstract landscape, reminiscent of distant mountain ridges, is rendered in soft washes of charcoal and blue-gray, inviting a tranquil atmosphere like ink dissolved in fog.

Although smaller than a standard whisk, it performs with precision, allowing you to create a smooth, airy froth, whether you're in a serene garden, at a picnic, or savoring tea in the comfort of your home. This whisk ensures a delightful matcha preparation experience, enabling you to whisk with flowing movements that enhance the matcha's rich flavors.

Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is made using Mino ware, a historic ceramic tradition from Gifu Prefecture that has been produced in Japan for more than 1,300 years. Mino pottery became especially prominent during the development of Japanese tea culture and remains widely used for matcha bowls and tea utensils.
This piece features Shirashino glaze, a variation of traditional Shino glaze known for its soft white surface and natural texture. During firing, the glaze interacts with the clay and kiln atmosphere to create subtle variations in tone, giving the bowl its characteristic depth and warmth.
The landscape decoration is applied before firing, allowing the design to blend naturally with the glaze during the kiln process. Because each bowl is shaped, glazed, and fired individually, slight differences in color, texture, and pattern naturally occur, reflecting the craftsmanship behind handmade Japanese ceramics.
Note
Each item is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans. As a result, slight variations in color, pattern, and shape may occur compared to the product images. These subtle differences are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and contribute to the unique character of every piece.
Mino ware · Gifu, Japan
Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation
Mino ware comes from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's most important ceramic-producing areas. Over centuries, kilns in the region developed a remarkable range of styles, from restrained Shino and Oribe pieces tied to tea culture to everyday tableware for modern Japanese homes. Rather than being defined by a single look, Mino ware is known for that diversity. A ceramic tradition that has continued to evolve with the way people actually live and eat.
Mino ware, or Minoyaki, is the broad ceramic
tradition associated with the Mino region of
present-day Gifu Prefecture. Rather than describing
one fixed aesthetic, the name encompasses ceramics
with a wide range of forms, glazes and decorative
approaches developed across the region over more
than 1,300 years.
Why is Mino ware so diverse?
Mino developed as a large ceramic-producing region
rather than around one narrowly defined style.
Generations of potters experimented with different
clays, firing methods, shapes and glazes, creating
a tradition in which rustic tea wares, expressive
glazes and practical everyday tableware can all
belong to the same ceramic family.
What are Shino and Oribe?
Shino and Oribe are two of the best-known ceramic
traditions associated with Mino. Shino is celebrated
for its soft white glaze, subtle texture and often
understated decoration, while Oribe is known for
expressive forms and distinctive green, black and
painted surfaces. Together with Kiseto and Setoguro,
they are closely associated with the celebrated
Momoyama-period tea ceramics of the Mino region.
Where is Mino ware made?
Mino ware is produced primarily in the Tōnō area
of eastern Gifu Prefecture, including major ceramic
centres such as Tajimi, Toki and Mizunami.
The region remains one of Japan's most important
centres of ceramic and tableware production today.
