Cherry Blossom Matcha Bowl — Japanese Sakura Chawan (Made in Japan)
Product Info
This Japanese sakura chawan (matcha bowl) is crafted in Japan and decorated with delicate cherry blossom motifs — a timeless symbol of renewal and quiet beauty in Japanese tea culture. Its softly rounded form and smooth interior support comfortable whisking and fine foam formation, making it well suited for both traditional tea preparation and daily matcha practice.
Origin
Japan — produced within Japan’s longstanding ceramic tradition for tea utensils and matcha bowls.
Clay & Glaze
Formed from ceramic clay and finished in a pale, misted glaze with hand-applied sakura decoration. The gently glazed surface provides visual softness while maintaining tactile stability during whisking.
Form & Function
The rounded chawan profile provides ample space for chasen movement and controlled foam development. Balanced wall thickness and foot stability allow secure handling and comfortable pouring.
Craftsmanship
Each bowl is finished by hand, resulting in subtle variation in glaze tone, blossom placement, and surface character — a natural expression of Japanese ceramic craft.
Use
Suitable for preparing matcha (usucha). The smooth interior curvature allows even whisking and consistent foam.
Care
Hand wash with warm water and mild dish detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, dishwashers, and microwave use. Allow to dry fully before storage.
Dimensions
Diameter: approx. 11.5–12 cm
Height: approx. 7.5–8 cm
Packaging
Protective box suitable for storage or gifting.
Rarity

Why This Chawan Works So Well
A good chawan isn’t just beautiful — it’s shaped for whisking. The wide interior gives your bamboo whisk (chasen) room to move in a quick “W” motion, helping matcha mix smoothly and foam without splashing.
Each piece is handmade in Japan, so glaze flow, tone, and texture vary slightly. That natural variation is part of the appeal — and why each bowl feels personal in the hand.
