Zeze-ware
Zeze ware is a pottery produced in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, which originated from the pottery made under the guidance of Kobori Enshu, a tea master and Feudal lord in the early Edo period.
It was considered to be one of the seven Enshu kilns. It features a blackish iron glaze, and the simple and delicate design is still alive with the spirit of “KIREISABI" that Enshu advocated.

KAMISENRO’s eyes
In Japan, Japanese tea bowls have long been used for drinking matcha. However, it can be used in various ways. We think it is a waste to miss the opportunity to touch beautiful things, because it is used only for a limited purpose. Of course, you can drink matcha, but depending on the shape of the bowl, for example, how about using it as a container for coffee, cafe au lait, or ice cream? We hope that you will incorporate a part of Japanese culture into your country's daily life in a way that suits you.
