Zui Ninshu Katakuchi Matcha Bowl, Sake Bottle

"Zui" (瑞) means "auspicious," and this piece captivates with its deep, moonlit landscape. It's an enduringly popular work that conveys the true essence of Japanese ceramics.

This katakuchi chawan (spouted tea bowl) features Ninshu's unique "finger-line" technique. Besides preparing matcha, it can also be used as a sake vessel, perfect for serving sake in place of a traditional tokkuri. Its size is ideal for portioning out matcha or Japanese sake, as it holds one go (一合) of sake. We highly recommend pairing it with our ochoko cups.

*To ensure the longevity of the product, please soak it in water overnight before first use upon arrival.

*As all pieces are handmade, the product you receive will not be exactly the same as the product image. The size, shape, color, pattern, and texture will vary from piece to piece, which is part of its charm.

*Specifically, we kindly ask that those who cannot appreciate individual differences such as crazing (crack patterns formed during firing), iron spots (black dots from oxidized iron content during firing), pinholes (small white spots on the surface), and uneven glaze, refrain from purchasing.
