This is a matcha tea bowl of "Akahada-yaki," a traditional craft of Nara. The simple and warm unglazed base is carefully painted with classical Nara-e (Nara pictures). The simple paintings of parent birds, figures, etc., evoke a sense of nostalgia, making it a tasteful piece. It has a slightly plump shape and a gentle texture that fits comfortably in the hand.
