Wakasama Tougei (Pottery) – Handcrafted Japanese Pottery from Mashiko
This Katakuchi Matcha Bowl (Natural White) by Wakasama Tougei (Pottery) showcases the soft, warm character of Mashiko clay. Hand-thrown and shaped with a gentle katakuchi spout, the bowl is designed for smoothly whisking and pouring matcha, offering both beauty and easy functionality.
The natural white glaze gives each piece a calm, organic expression—subtle variations, soft tones, and a slightly matte texture that highlights the handmade nature of the bowl. Its balanced size and smooth shape make it a versatile piece, suitable not only for matcha but also for serving sauces, tea, or small dishes.
A simple and elegant bowl that brings the charm of Mashiko-yaki into modern daily life.

Characterized by thick, durable clay, simple yet elegant forms, and natural glazes, Mashiko-yaki is both functional and artistic, perfect for everyday tableware or collectible pieces.
Unlike ultra-delicate ceramics, Mashiko-yaki emphasizes sturdiness, warmth, and a tactile feel, reflecting the hands-on approach of the artisans. Many pieces are handmade in family-run studios, preserving traditional techniques while experimenting with contemporary designs.
