Thank you for viewing. This is a matcha bowl made from "Kushiro Shitsugen Doro-yaki," a specialty of Kushiro City, Hokkaido, using soil from the Kushiro Marsh. The artist is Sadao Kikuchi (Tei-gama), a master craftsman who researched local soil and established a unique texture. It features the calm earth color unique to Doro-yaki and a warm texture that gains character with use. The shape is powerful yet fits comfortably in the hand, and the green of the tea beautifully reflects in this bowl.
