【 Important Notes 】

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations in colour, pattern, and shape may occur. These are characteristic of artisanal pottery and add to the unique charm of your bowl.

• Please avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring boiling water into a cold bowl) to prevent cracking.

• Hand washing is recommended. Please avoid using abrasive cleaners or placing in the dishwasher.

• After use, rinse thoroughly and allow the bowl to dry completely before storing to prevent moisture build-up.

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Wrapping in a soft cloth is recommended to prevent scratches.

• The ceramic may absorb tea stains over time; this is a natural characteristic of pottery and is considered part of its beauty in Japanese tea culture.

We sincerely hope this authentic Kiyomizu-yaki matcha bowl brings you moments of peace and refinement. Thank you for your kind interest in Japanese tea culture.
