This Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is decorated with a weeping cherry blossom tree (しだれ桜 - shidarezakura) with gold and red petals, draped over a crazed ivory glaze. The bowl is made in the classic Ninsei (仁清) shape, with a slight waist or tightening of the torso, accompanied with a slightly inward facing lip. Sakura are a classic spring motif.

This chawan was made by Eikō Miyaji (宮地英香), a workshop known for producing affordable and accessible iro-e and seasonal Kyo-yaki chawan, helping spread tea and tea culture.

Kyo-yaki (京焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Kyoto, Japan. The pottery traditions of Kyoto date back to the 5th century and are varied in their styles.
