Born in the 400-year-old ceramic town of Hasami, Nagasaki, our workshop was founded to preserve a craft threatened by mass production. Master artisans, certified by the Japanese government's Traditional Craft Industry promotion, created this bowl to solve a common problem: matcha bowls that were either too fragile for daily use or too thick to feel authentic. Every piece uses clay from a single, local quarry and is fired in a wood-burning kiln (a technique designated an Intangible Cultural Property) for unmatched strength. Each bowl undergoes a 72-hour quality inspection. It's now the top-selling handcrafted matcha bowl in its category in Japan, chosen for its perfect balance of tradition and resilience for modern life.

The Handcrafted Hasami Porcelain Pink Matcha Bowl by Saikai Toki (Hasami Porcelain) is crafted from high-quality porcelain, a ceramic material primarily composed of kaolin clay, feldspar, and quartz. Kaolin clay provides the bowl with its smooth, white base and structural integrity, while feldspar acts as a flux to lower the firing temperature and enhance durability, and quartz adds strength and thermal shock resistance. The distinctive pink hue is achieved through the addition of mineral-based pigments, such as iron oxide or chromium, which are carefully blended into the porcelain body before firing to create a subtle, aesthetically pleasing color without compromising food safety. This bowl is designed specifically for matcha preparation, with its wide, shallow shape allowing for optimal whisking of powdered green tea, while the porcelain's non-porous surface prevents absorption of flavors and ensures easy cleaning. The accompanying wooden gift box, typically made from sustainably sourced wood like paulownia or cedar, offers protection during storage and transport, while adding an elegant, traditional touch that enhances the overall user experience. Benefits to the user include a durable, chip-resistant bowl that maintains temperature stability for enjoying matcha at its ideal warmth, a food-safe material free from harmful chemicals like lead or cadmium, and an ergonomic design that facilitates the ceremonial preparation of matcha, promoting mindfulness and appreciation of Japanese tea culture.

We are a family-run atelier in Hasami, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create objects for daily life that are beautiful, functional, and built to last generations. Our approach rejects fast fashion; every piece is formed, glazed, and fired by a single master artisan certified under Japan's stringent Dento Kogeishi (Traditional Craftsperson) system. Our production head, a 3rd-generation potter, oversees all firings in our traditional noborigama (climbing kiln), a process governed by Japan's Industrial Standards (JIS). We believe true luxury is found in quiet, enduring quality that simplifies and elevates everyday moments.
