Plum Blossom and Nightingale Matcha Bowl
A beautiful Kyo ware matcha bowl chawan adorned with the traditional combination of plum blossoms and a Japanese nightingale.
Springtime is heralded by a beautiful juxtaposition of the delicate red plum blossoms with the matcha-green hue of a Japanese nightingale on light beige stoneware. This combination has been celebrated since the Manyo period (710-794 CE) and can even be seen depicted on traditional Japanese playing cards.
Their graceful pairing captures the fleeting beauty of early spring, evoking warmth and renewal.
The designs are hand-painted by an artisan at Tanaka Toubou one by one, which is a characteristic of Kyo ware. The plum blossoms are elegantly drawn in a light red, which is painted with a stronger touch. A lovely Japanese nightingale is seen chirping on the artful plum blossom branch.
