As tea-making has become an art form over the centuries, so have matcha bowls themselves become works of art. The organic, undulating shape of traditional matcha bowls is designed to create the smooth, frothy consistency beloved by tea enthusiasts. Because of its essential role in the Japanese tea ceremony, a tea bowl is traditionally considered one of the most graceful and treasured items in your home.
Meaning "lake scenery" in Japanese, the Kokei Matcha Bowl features an alluring azure crackle glaze that we think would look especially beautiful holding your favorite ceremonial matcha.
How to Use:
To prepare matcha, pour boiling water into the tea bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add ceremonial-grade matcha using a bamboo ladle. Using a chasen (bamboo whisk), whisk vigorously in an “M” shape until the matcha reaches a creamy froth. Sip directly from bowl.
For best results, use ceremonial-grade matcha, a bamboo ladle, and 80 or 100-tip chansen.
Materials: Clay Care: Owning a matcha bowl requires thoughtful handling and careful use. Because of their handmade quality, these bowls are not suitable for the microwave or dishwasher, and should be rinsed and dried immediately after use. Be careful not to introduce water that is too hot, as that may encourage glaze cracking. Dimensions: Height: 3.15" Diameter: 5.12" Shika, Japan

Large spirals of incense were once hung above temple ceilings so that monks could light intense aromas to aid in meditation and prayer. The spiral shape condenses what would be a long stick of incense into a compact coil for a burning time of approximately 2 hours, much longer than ordinary incense sticks or cones. The Sonoran Desert incense series takes inspiration from the North American landscape, combining an ancient Eastern tradition with an unequivocally American character.
Each box contains 10 spirals for a collective 20 hours of sensory aroma. Ocotillo Bloom: Inspired by the desert plant native to the Sonoran Desert, this fragrance is a fresh, soft scent with herbal notes of woodsy balsam. Spring Arroyo: Named after the dry creeks of the Sonoran Desert, this fragrance contains floral notes with verdant bergamot. Ironwood Thorn: The sturdy ironwood tree is indigenous to the Sonoran Desert. Bright notes of oud and tobacco balance out this warm, soothing scent. About Tennen Founded in 2001 by Ethan Wessel and Sarah Swartz Wessel, Tennen is a multidisciplinary architectural firm based in Phoenix, USA. Their Sonoran Desert incense collection is part of a collaboration with Kyoto incense makers, and was influenced by the constant and soothing presence of Japanese incense around the Tennen Studio offices. From buildings to aromas, Tennen’s design projects pursue aesthetic simplicity inspired by the culture and design sensibilities of Japan - honesty of materials, minimalism, and the changing seasons. Quantity: 10 spirals. Burning Time: Approximately 120 minutes each. Dimensions: Each incense measures approx. 2.125" in diameter and .125" in height. Care: Light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame immediately. Keep in a dry place. Kyoto, Japan

Sometimes the most beautiful works of art are the simplest. Handmade by Keiichi Tanaka, this rectangular, bridge-like vase holds just a few sprigs of flowers. Set it up on the wall and watch while the afternoon sun casts a shadow of its legs over the wall.

Inspired by the visual poetry of agricultural tools and instruments, Takana creates softly textured  glazes and unexpected shapes for otherwise common-use objects. His rustic, contemporary pieces clash with archaic shapes to invoke an atmosphere of "time accumulation": hazy, textured objects that could be remnants of a long-ago past or a not-so-distant future. Tanaka has exhibited widely thro u ghout Japan and Europe, and currently lives in Saitama, Japan. Materials: Clay Dimensions: Length: 6” Width: 1” Saitama, Japan

Inspired by agricultural tools and instruments, artist Keiichi Tanaka imagines radical approaches to ikebana in his series of abstract ceramic vases. Singular sprigs of flowers peek out from the four ends of the vase, illustrating the relationship between nature and artistry like leaves sprouting through concrete. Tanaka here casts the simple vase as an art object: with flowers, it positions the natural world within our modernist society; without flowers it stands alone as a work of art to be displayed year-round.

This special coaster is the result of a collaboration between artist Toshiyuki Fukuda and sashiko embroidery artisan Kenichi Ohazama. Using traditional sashiko embroidery with near-mathematical precision, each coaster features geometric patterns that combine twenty-first century graphics with Japanese folk art motifs. The sturdy textile is made from 100% cotton woven into a strong quilted jacquard weave that easily washes away spills. Each Sashiko coaster is individually cut from a larger textile, making each pattern slightly different from the others.
About Sashiko Embroidery Sashiko, which translates to “little stabs” in Japanese, is a hand-sewing technique that originated in ancient Japan. Sashiko stitches were traditionally used to decorate and repair homespun peasant clothes in times where resources were scarce. Using geometric patterns with common motifs like waves, mountains, bamboos, or overlapping diamonds, sashiko combined decoration with reparation, with its resulting beauty demanding to know: why just mend and make do when you can mend and make better?
