Chawan – matcha bowl “Fuyugaki”: The sweet persimmon

The handcrafted chawan “Fuyugaki” is named after the sweet persimmon – a fruit deeply rooted in Japanese culture, not only culinarily but also spiritually. Its transformation from tart austerity to sweet ripeness reflects a central Buddhist teaching: the transformation from ignorance to wisdom. “Fuyugaki” reminds us that patience and dedication are the keys to inner clarity.

Symbolic power of the persim

For centuries, the persimmon has played a significant role in Buddhist practice. Monks carried dried persimmons as provisions for their journeys – a nourishing boost for body and mind. They scattered their seeds along their paths as a silent symbol of their connection to nature and the healing power of life. This symbolism makes the "fuyugaki" more than just a tea bowl: it is a vessel for mindful moments and spiritual reflection.

Tradition and craftsmanship

Like all our matcha bowls, "Fuyugaki" is crafted in the traditional Mino region of Japan. Experienced ceramicists shape each bowl individually by hand, giving it a unique character. With "Fuyugaki," you bring an authentic piece of Japanese culture to your tea ceremony.

Your moment of transformation

Whether serving your matcha, in meditative calm or as a gift full of symbolic power – the Chawan “Fuyugaki” invites you to celebrate change as part of life and to make your tea break a moment of mindfulness.
