About Yamani

About Matcha Bowls

The chawan — or matcha bowl — is central to the Japanese tea ceremony. Wide enough to allow vigorous whisking and deep enough to hold a generous serve, the chawan is shaped as much by function as by tradition. The Unofu glaze style, with its soft, milky surface and subtle colour variation, reflects the Japanese aesthetic of wabi — finding beauty in simplicity, imperfection, and the natural world.
