Nami ni Usagi - Rabbit on the Waves Kyo-yaki Chawan

This elegant and adorable Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is decorated with a pair of white rabbits leaping over blue waves in a pattern called nami usagi (波兎), which is thought to bring good luck. The bowl is made in the classic wan-nari shape that is comfortable to hold and easy to whisk in, making it suitable for both beginners and masters alike.

This chawan was made by Shihō Ono (小野志峰). Born in 1980, this young potter has specialised in Kyo-yaki since 2001.
