Charming and quietly expressive, the Karako and Sankirai Katakuchi Matcha Bowl by Tosen Kiln brings a sense of warmth and whimsy to your tea ritual. A hand-painted karako child—symbolizing joy and prosperity—is depicted playfully alongside slender sprigs of Sankirai berries, a motif that evokes the beauty of nature and seasonal celebration.

The bowl’s defining feature is its katakuchi spout, traditionally used for ease of pouring. This thoughtful detail allows for smooth, controlled transfer of matcha or other liquids, making the bowl as practical as it is graceful. Its soft contours and balanced form sit comfortably in the hand, while the detailed painting invites quiet appreciation between each use.

Rooted in the Kyoto tradition of Kiyomizu ware, this piece reflects Tosen Kiln’s blend of utility, artistry, and gentle storytelling—an ideal companion for both daily tea practice and moments of reflection.
