Minoyaki is one of the most common and popular types of pottery in Japan, accounting for approximately 50% of pottery produced in Japan today. With a long history of approximately 1300 years, Mino ware continues to be popular as new techniques are applied in its production.
The fine streaks of beautiful Japanese Red coat the bowl and settle at the bottom to form a shiny surface.

Care guide to preserve its beauty and longevity:

BAMBOO WHISK "CHASEN"
at the heart of the tea ceremony
This shiratake white bamboo Kazuho Chasen (matcha whisk)was made in Takayama, Nara by Kubo Sabun of Chikumeido.
Chikumeido Sabun is one of the most honored Tea-whisk manufacturers in Japan, with traditions and expertise that stretch back over 500 years.Chikumeido is headed by Kubo Sabun, a 24th generation chasen maker who has carried on his family's old tradition and is one of the only 18 remaining chasen masters. These chasens are made from locally grown bamboo in the small village of Takayama in northwest Nara prefecture, famed as the only chasen making village in Japan.
The present head of the household is the 24th generation, Kubo Sabun. Kubo Sabun has presented his craft internationally at the Louvre in Paris, the United Nations Ambassador's residence in New York and at the "Japan House" in London.
In 1987 he was recognized as a traditional master craftsman by the Minister of International Trade and Industry of Japan. Later, in 2015, he was awarded the "Order of the Rising Sun" . The kazuho shape is the most basic style of chasen. Compared to the shin kazuho it has straighter tines that are tightly curled at the tip. Like the shin, the kazuho has roughly 64 tines, and sits in between dedicated usucha chasen which have lots of thin tines, and dedicated koicha chasen, which have fewer but thicker tines.
This makes kazuho-type chasen suitable both for whipping up a fine, foamy usucha and kneading a thick, rich koicha. 
Dimensions:
6.2cm (2.4in)
11.5cm (4.5in)
Unlike mass-produced matcha chasens, these chasen are entirely handmade, without the use of machines or chemicals to expedite the bamboo growing, drying, or shaping processes, requiring immense time and skill to craft. As such, Takayama chasen have finer, more flexible tines and a greater attention to detail, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also easier and more enjoyable to use and more durable in the long run.
WHISK STAY "CHASEN YASUME"
An essential item to accompany your chasen
CARING FOR YOUR CHASEN
This chasen yasume maintains the shape of your chasen and is easy to store.
In addition, its design allows for air to pass through to prevent mold.
- After using the chasen, fill a bowl with lukewarm water, and whisk the chasen until the tines are clean.
- If there are any matcha left on the tines, gently wipe them with your fingers.
- Make sure to fully dry the chasen in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight before storing it.
- Do not use any soap or sponges, and be sure to clean the chasen shortly after use.
*Stoneware from Hyogo prefecture.
TEA CONTAINER "NATSUME"
The tea container stands out like a star in the host's spot
Chaki : Tea container used to bring matcha to the tea room.
Natsume is the most well-known type of chaki.
There are many kinds of containers used for holding matcha. Koicha containers are called chaire. In the sixteenth century, some chaire were known to have been valued as much as a castle! Depending on the shape and material it is made from, usucha containers are called natsume or usuki.
Tea containers can be considered one of the star utensils in a gathering. Guests always look forward to seeing the tea container selected by the host. Some of the lacquer natsume are stunning in their workmanship with elaborate designs and dazzling use of gold. Sen no Rikyu favored plain black lacquer containers. Created over 400 years ago these are still the standard for today's pieces.

Each chashaku are handmade by craftsmen in.
The chashaku could be considered the embodiment of the spirit of tea masters. Originally, the chashaku was probably carved for each occasion and not really considered the art piece it is now. Passed from master to disciple, the chashaku gradually came to be seen as the embodiment of the person who carved it. Most were afforded poetic names by the carver to reflect the thought behind their creation. Much like the sword was to the samurai, to the tea master the chashaku could be considered a representation of their spirit. Chashaku are available in different shapes and materials today, but we offer a traditional chashaku that are primarily used in chado.
*As each chashaku is crafted from natural materials, there may be variations in color and texture.
*To care for the item, gently wipe any matcha left on the chashaku with a dry cloth.
