HANDMADE JAPANESE KATAKUCHI POURING VESSEL | USUZUMI SAKURA | TOUSENGAMA 陶泉窯

Discover the understated elegance of Kyoto craftsmanship with this Handmade Japanese Usuzumi Sakura Katakuchi Pouring vessel, expertly crafted by Tousen Kiln in Kyoto, Japan. Inspired by the legendary Usuzumi Sakura, one of Japan's most treasured cherry blossom trees, this handcrafted katakuchi features a soft grey glaze adorned with delicate hand-painted sakura. Its graceful pouring spout combines traditional Japanese design with everyday practicality, showcasing the refined artistry of authentic Kiyomizu Ware (Kyo-yaki).

Founded in the early Meiji era, Tousen Kiln began as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler before establishing its own kiln to create handcrafted ceramics. Drawing on the traditional clay and glazes of Kyoto's Kiyomizu ware, each piece reflects generations of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship while embracing elegant, contemporary design.

Traditionally used for pouring sauces, dressings, dipping broths or tea, this versatile katakuchi vessel can also serve as a small serving bowl for appetisers, desserts or seasonal dishes. Every piece is individually handcrafted and hand-finished, making each one unique with subtle variations in glaze, colour and decoration that celebrate the authentic beauty of Japanese pottery.

Whether paired with matching Usuzumi Sakura tableware or displayed as a decorative accent, this elegant katakuchi brings the quiet beauty of Kyoto's ceramic tradition into your home.
