Chawan Haiyuu Tabaneshiba Fukiyosee

Handmade matcha tea bowl decorated with hand-painted autumn leaves and "tabaneshiba" - a cord. The bowl is coated with ash glaze (haiyū).

"Tabaneshiba" symbolizes receiving blessings. It is an auspicious pattern that represents connections and bonds between people, as well as longevity. This cord also evokes the image of a sealed tea jar. Autumn is the season of "kuchikiri" the ceremonial or ritual act of opening a tea jar that has been carefully sealed, often with a ribbon or cord.

The hand-painted autumn leaves on the tea bowl are in transformation. We call it "nishiki" when leaves change colors in the fall and they turn from green to vibrant hues of red, orange, or yellow creating a colorful, layered effect reminiscent of a luxurious brocade fabric.


Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery looks back on 400 years of history and is now a symbol of Kyoto. To serve the desire of Aristocrats, tea masters, and culinary specialists of the era, Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery has incorporated design and artistry not only from Japan but also from China and the Korean Peninsula. Even up to now exquisite artistry and excellent craftsmanship are the core qualities of Kyo ware: each piece is modeled and decorated carefully by hand.

The tea bowl comes in a wooden box signed by the artist.
