I came across a gorgeous set of tea ceremony photos on Ajpscs’s photostream the other day. The majority of the photos are close up images of various chawans (tea bowls) and wagashi (tea sweets) held by graceful hands with rich, vibrant kimonos patterns filling in the backgrounds.

The bowl was designed with dimensions and proportions fitting to matcha. While you wouldn’t find someone using this in an actual tea ceremony, the bowl’s amazing presentation of the whisked green tea is quite beautiful.
