Original Japanese Matcha Bowl – Aka-Raku “Into the Red” (Han tsutsu-gata)

Old red and unique: A matcha bowl with character

The finest Japanese craftsmanship is evident in this original matcha bowl , crafted in the classic Han tsutsu-gata shape (半筒型). The warm red tone—known as Aka-Raku—draws the eye and lends the vessel an almost meditative depth. This matcha cup is not just a tool of the tea ceremony, but a piece of living culture that has been passed down through generations.

Handmade unique piece with origin and history

This matcha bowl was crafted in Japan by an experienced ceramic artist and is an original vintage piece. Every imperfection, every glaze gradient, speaks of experience, intuition, and decades of tradition. The Wa Kodai (輪高台) ring base ensures stability and harmoniously rounds off the balanced shape.

Light, precise, expressive

With a diameter of 12 cm, a height of 7.5 cm, and a weight of 297 grams, the matcha bowl sits comfortably in the hand. The semi-cylindrical shape provides enough space for the matcha to be evenly distributed and frothed. This bowl's full potential is particularly evident when used with a chasen – stable, soft to the touch, and cleanly designed.

Classic Matcha vessel with a modern presence

Whether you devote yourself entirely to traditional matcha preparation or use this matcha cup for your own style, it adapts to your ritual. The smooth surface, interspersed with subtle color gradients, creates a vibrant yet serene effect. The antique red shimmers depending on the light, giving the bowl a special depth without being overpowering.

More than just ceramics: A piece of Japan for your tea ritual

Included is a wooden box signed by the master potter—not only stylish, but also an expression of appreciation for this unique vessel. A delicate cloth is also included, ideal for gentle cleaning. Every detail of this composition demonstrates that this is about more than just form and function: It's about attitude, mindfulness, and respect for tea.

For the daily ceremony – and special moments

This matcha bowl is ideal for anyone who wants to deepen their tea practice—whether for whisking matcha, drinking mindfully, or simply as a special piece on the tea shelf. As a genuine matcha vessel, steeped in history and authentic craftsmanship, it will quickly become a trusted companion. And perhaps even a piece of home in your daily ceremony.
