{"product_id":"horii-shichimeien-asahiyaki-katakuchi-matcha-bowl","title":"Iori by Horii Shichimeien - Asahiyaki Katakuchi Matcha Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Asahiyaki katakuchi tea bowl is made using ash taken from the tea trees of the historic Okunoyama Tea Garden. Okunoyama is the last surviving garden among the original Uji Shichimeien (Seven Famous Tea Farms of Uji), officially designated in 1379. Cultivated for over 650 years and still managed by Horii Shichimeien, it remains one of Japan’s most historically significant tea gardens. The katakuchi form, with its subtle pouring spout, is traditionally used for preparing and serving tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsahiyaki is a traditional Japanese pottery from Uji, Kyoto, with a history of over 400 years. It developed alongside Uji’s tea culture, producing teaware for tea masters and nobility during the time of Sen no Rikyū and Kobori Enshū. In the late Edo period, it also shaped early teaware as Uji’s tea culture evolved. Today, it continues to reflect the close relationship between Uji’s tea and its ceramic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIori is a new extension of Horii Shichimeien, shaped by the idea of a small tea hermitage quietly open within modern life. It is guided by fueki-ryūkō, a Japanese philosophy meaning “the timeless and the new in harmony.” Through Iori, centuries of tea culture are carried forward into contemporary form. Rather than preserving tradition as something fixed, Iori allows it to remain alive, adapting its expression while keeping its essence intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIori is not simply about tea itself. It explores how the spirit of tea can exist within daily life through thoughtfully created objects and experiences. Rooted in Horii Shichimeien’s long history, the line carries forward a refined aesthetic while continuing to evolve for the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003eDiameter 3.94\" × Height 2.95\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Horii Shichimeien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47187321716928,"sku":null,"price":597.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1384\/1689\/files\/horii-shichimeien-asahiyaki-matcha-bowl-1_843e0ecf-4684-45ba-909c-81ab395539da.jpg?v=1784849463","url":"https:\/\/good-liver.com\/products\/horii-shichimeien-asahiyaki-katakuchi-matcha-bowl","provider":"The Good Liver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
