Bizen Ware Yellow Sesame Reverse Drip Matcha Tea Bowl by Hieda Juen

Hold the quiet spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony with this Bizen ware matcha bowl by artisan Hieda Juen. Its defining feature is a yellow sesame pattern, formed naturally in the kiln with a distinct reverse-drip visual. Every curve and texture reflects the direct interaction between raw earth and intense flame.

Bizen pottery is one of Japan's ancient ceramic traditions, famous for unglazed surfaces that rely entirely on kiln effects for decoration. As wood ash flies through the chamber, it melts onto the clay to create golden specks called sesame glaze. The reverse-drip motion adds an unusual, dynamic layer to this rustic art form.

This piece is unused and brand new, offering a fresh start for your tea practice or your Japanese pottery display.
