Kikyo Japanese Matcha Tea Bowl Gift Set

Some things stop you. This is one of them. The soft grey-blue glaze, the indigo Kikyō flowers curling around the bowl, the hand-carved bamboo whisk, the tea scoop, the whisk holder — everything you need to begin a real matcha ritual, together in one beautifully presented set. In Japan, beauty is never accidental. Whether you are building your own daily ritual or giving a gift that truly means something, this complete authentic set made in Japan is the one.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

桔梗 — kikyō — balloon flower

The bowl takes its name from 桔梗 (Kikyō), one of Japan's seven autumn flowers (秋の七草 — aki no nanakusa), celebrated in poetry and art for over a thousand years. In Hanakotoba (花言葉 — the Japanese language of flowers), Kikyō means unchanging love and sincerity. For over 800 years, Chado (茶道 — the Way of Tea) has been one of Japan's most profound traditions — not about drinking, but about being fully present. The Matcha-wan (抄茶碗) is held in both hands as a gesture of humility and gratitude. At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a matcha set. You are bringing a piece of Japanese culture home.
