The Black Matcha Gift Set includes:
- Sara Baudry's ceramic bowl
- a traditional bamboo whisk
- a small matcha preparation guide
- all wrapped in a traditional Japanese fabric using the furoshiki tradition
At the crossroads of tea art and ceramics, this bowl was born from my encounter with Sara Baudry, a ceramist and neighbor of our workshop. Its cylindrical shape is inspired by traditional Japanese bowls called chawan of the raku style. The pouring spout allows serving concentrated matcha for matcha lattes or sharing traditional matcha with water, while its deep black color highlights the tender green of the foam.
Wrapped according to the furoshiki tradition, the art of knotting and folding fabric to protect and transport objects, it celebrates a practice that is both sustainable and poetic.
3 fabric choices are available:
- The kikkō pattern, inspired by the turtle shell, symbolizes longevity, protection, and stability in Japanese tradition.
- The origami pattern, the Japanese art of paper folding, symbolizes patience and creativity. Its emblematic figure, the orizuru crane, is associated with luck and longevity.
- The tsuru pattern, the crane, symbolizes longevity and happiness. In the form of the senbazuru pattern "one thousand origami cranes", it also becomes a symbol of hope and perseverance.
