Shibaoka Yuta Matcha Bowl

Stoneware

Dimensions: 11.2 (H) x 12.2 (W)

This handmade matcha bowl by Shibaoka Yuta is characterized by a simple, nature-inspired aesthetic. Created through wood firing, it features a gently flowing ash-splash glaze that drapes across the surface like a small landscape—full of subtle nuances and natural irregularities.

The form is unconventional, its asymmetry reminiscent of a large dragon egg—serene, organic, and slightly mysterious. The coarse, rustic clay accentuates the bowl's earthy character and makes it pleasantly easy to grip.

A quiet, expressive piece that captures the beauty of imperfection—very much in the spirit of wabi-sabi. This piece comes with a signed wooden box (tomobako).
