Kiyomizu-yaki Matcha Bowl – White Chrysanthemum on Purple

A modern Kyoto chawan with a classic auspicious motif. This Kiyomizu-yaki (Kyoto) matcha bowl features bold white chrysanthemums floating over a deep purple glaze—bright, playful, and elegant at the same time.

Chrysanthemum (kiku) is traditionally associated with longevity and prosperity, making this piece especially fitting for celebration, gifting, and seasonal tea gatherings. Kayori is a series by Kyoto’s Nishikawa Teizaburo Shoten that explores a fresh, contemporary expression of Kyoyaki/Kiyomizu-yaki while staying rooted in craft tradition.
