Flock of Cranes Over Mt. Fuji Chawan

This classy Kiyomizu-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is made in the classic wan-nari shape and features an ivory glaze decorated with a fujigunkaku (富士群鶴) motif. This traditional subject of a flock of cranes flying over Mt. Fuji combines two classically auspicious symbols.

The inside is left clear, allowing the vibrant colour of matcha to shine against the warm white of the glaze.

This chawan was made by Eyuki Kiln (恵雪窯).
