"Japanese tea bowl Mitate Namban Obi"

Kyoto Yaki - Goods from Kyoto

Kyoto is the birthplace of many of Japan's cultural achievements and developments. It is no exaggeration to say that Kyoto in particular was the starting point from where Japanese culture was carried out into the world. A strong focus in Kyoto has always been on cultural developments around cuisine. The tea ceremony and typical dishes accompanying it (kaiseki) have undergone the highest refinement in Kyoto. It is certainly not surprising that in the wake of these efforts, the ceramic arts, which play an important role in the ceremony, have developed to the highest level

The high standards of Kyoto's chefs, tea masters and aesthetically educated citizens have always been the incentive and benchmark for the artistic achievements of Kyoto's fantastic craftsmen. Their creations enjoy world renown, regardless of whether it is the ceramic quality, the most delicate patterns or the most refined glazes. At the same time, the masters of ceramics with their sophisticated works were again the engines for the technical development of production in the traditional kilns, which had to do and have done their part to complete the works of ceramic artists. Kyoto Yaki, goods from Kyoto, became a brand of the most beautiful ceramics with an international reputation and a loyal following around the world.

MITATE - Encountering Unique Landscapes

Keshiki is the landscape but also the view or vista. In the tea ceremony, it means the infinity. MITATE creates this landscape with infinity in mind. Artfully overlapping glazes create ever-changing vistas and landscapes, synonymous with the often-changing landscapes of Japan. Thus, MITATE embodies in a tangible way the actual perception of nature in its diversity itself. Open yourself to the natural beauty and enjoy the good views, the many faces of Kyoto with its seasons and the unique charisma on the human senses.

Notes only use and care

Ceramic products with relatively open surfaces have water and breathing activities with food prepared in them. For example, they can absorb and release flavors. With prolonged use and careful care, ceramic products enhance flavor nuances of the food being served in them, such as tea. Before use, ceramic should be washed with warm water and left to stand for a while filled with warm water. Ceramics that have absorbed water are less susceptible to tea stains and other discolorations. After use, always wash with clean, warm water without detergent. Abrasive sponges, hard brushes or similar should not be used for cleaning. Ceramic products decorated and painted with gold, silver or colors should not be exposed to high heat (oven) and sudden temperature changes, as this may damage the colors. The colors may change due to oxidation, even peel off at high heat. If the colors darken, you can use special polish to refresh the colors. But please avoid bleach at all costs.

Cleaning instructions

Cleaning: Rinse outside and inside with warm water only. Do not use any cleaning agents. If necessary, remove contamination with infused green tea. Use creates a tea patina that you do not need to remove, as it gives the tea bowl its own character.
