This elegant Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is made in the style of old Irabo (伊羅保) chawan, with a coarse, stony, iron-rich clay body and an irregular grey and brown glaze. Like all Irabo bowls, this chawan has a rustic and earthy appeal. Compared to the original 17th century Irabo chawans from Korea however, this bowl has a warmer, greyer tone; lacking the yellow-ish green hue found in many historical examples.

Made by Yohei Nakamura (中村与平). Born in 1959, Nakamura-san is a prolific potter, producing hundreds of beautiful and affordable tea ceremony utensils across a range of styles.

Kyo-yaki (京焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Kyoto, Japan. The pottery traditions of Kyoto date back to the 5th century and are varied in their styles.
