Josui Chawan Ninsei Gunkaku
Matcha tea bowl decorated with flying Japanese cranes
Handmade and hand-painted Kiyomizu artwork made by Master Josui Kato.
Cranes are one of the most popular motives of Japanese art. As they are believed to live a thousand years, they are strong symbols of longevity and wisdom. They are often depicted during the New Year's celebration, because they also refer to hope, success and good fortune.
Kyo or Kiyomizu pottery looks back on 400 years 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 is a core quality of Kyo ware: each piece is modeled and decorated carefully by hand.
The bowl comes in a wooden box signed by the artist.
Place of origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

Handling precautions
Initiate the tea bowl first! Let the bowl sit wholly immersed in cold or lukewarm water for a couple of minutes and then let it dry naturally. Matcha patina is natural for white clay, but by initiating the bowl properly, it will develop slower.
After using the tea bowl, rinse it with water. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your bowl. Never use bleach!
Avoid using a dishwasher or dryer!
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces like a stove, and never put it in the microwave or oven.
Only prepare matcha tea in it.

I Love this chawan. It has a total of 10 cranes going all around the outside and two on the inside. There aren't too many colors. Mainly gold, white and the black on the cranes. The look is classic. Feels just right in the hand and the white gives it a clean feel. Glad I added this beautiful piece to my collection.
