	Mino Maccha Bowl (Gifu Prefecture) Mino ceramic wares were made in the town of Tajimi in old Mino province (now the south-eastern part of Gifu prefecture). Sueki ware from the 7century has been discovered in the area and Mino was mentioned by name in 905 as a place for fine ash-glazed stoneware. During the Kamakura and Muromachi periods the use of the potter's wheel and a greater variety of glazes created more sophisticated pottery in Chinese-derived styles. The excavation of Mino ceramics from daimyou residences throughout Japan testifies to their popularity throughout all periods of Japan's history. Thus it belongs to the best pottery with one of the longest tradition. Measurements: upper diameter 98 m, height 65 mm, lower diameter 47 mm Weight: 200 g Capacity: about 250 ml This cup is not sold separately. View larger picture　 Other maccha bowls

	Whisk stand & 50 ml measuring cup A very helpful tool for preparing your maccha. Filled with hot water to the upper line of the bamboo design it exactly measures 50 ml. This is the proper amount of water one uses for a cup of maccha (provided that you inserted about 2 g of green tea powder into your maccha bowl). The smaller cylinder attached to the measuring cup serves as a whisk stand where you can rest your whisk - handle down - as shown on the picture.

Nakata Kizo , whisk maker and bamboo craftsman Nakata Kizo was born 1940 in Takayama, Ikoma, Nara prefecture. Though he was the son of a rice farmer, at the age of 14 he was sent to acquire skillful hands by learning to make whisks at an apprentice public service. After 6 years of study, he continued to learn various remaining techniques before becoming independent at the age of 25. In 1975 he founded the Nakata Kizo cooperation. Presently, about half of Japan's whisks are produced by his company.
