Handmade by a Japanese pottery artist Yaya, this bowl features a beautiful glaze gradation—a gentle shift in tone that flows naturally across the surface like fading light. Its soft curves and subtle color transition create a calming visual rhythm, inviting touch and quiet attention. Imagine whisking your matcha each morning as the vivid green settles against the bowl’s shifting hues, turning a daily habit into a serene ritual. Each piece is unique, shaped by the artist’s hand and the organic movement of the glaze.

Artist Profile

Ceramic artist YAYA, born in Tokyo, comes from a family background of farmers in Gunma, which has deeply rooted her connection to nature, the earth, and soil. It has now been 13 years since she began working with ceramics. Over the years, she has frequently traveled to places like Hawaii and Okinawa, always seeking to connect her heart and body with nature—an experience that continually nourishes her creative process.

“Choosing and kneading the clay, throwing, trimming, selecting the glaze and applying it, firing. At every step, even the smallest detail can bring about change. I work with an image of the finished piece in mind, yet the true outcome remains unknown until the very last moment, when the firing is complete. That unpredictability is what makes it so fascinating.” - by YAYA
