Hagi-yaki Pottery (萩焼, Hagiyaki) is one of the most famous pottery types in Japan. The skills for making this craft was imported into Japan from Korea in the early 1600s. Hagi ware flourished during the Edo Period (1603-1867) and was highly prized as tea wares for the tea ceremony.
Called a Macha-wan, these ceramic large teacups or bowls are typically used to make matcha green tea (with matcha powder and a chasen whisk).
From matcha lovers to people who are not already a matcha fan, matcha bowls are an essential component to the Japanese tea ceremony, but of course, they are used for enjoying matcha at home.
