Naginowa Shigaraki Ware Black Steel Matcha Bowl 4.3 in.

This is a Shigaraki ware matcha bowl.

The black background with white fine lines and dots that look as if they have been rubbed by a brush looks like a shimmering microcosm, creating a fantastic pattern.

Contrary to its appearance, it is lightweight, making it a good gift for grandparents who enjoy matcha.
