Purple Weeping Sakura Chawan

This elegant Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) has a fun spin on a classic shape with a subtly flattened front and faceted bottom. Atop the red clay, this chawan has a soft purple glaze, decorated with hand-painted shidarezakura (枝垂れ桜 - weeping cherry blossoms) on the face and on the inside. The inside is further decorated with a brushstroke of white slip in the Korean hakeme (刷毛目) style
