Kito is the traditional Japanese bowl for preparing matcha tea, which is also called "chawan". A chawan is a specially designed ceramic cup that is used to prepare and consume matcha green tea in the Japanese way. The chawan is wider and has a shallow bottom compared to regular tea cups. This design is intended to facilitate the stirring of the tea and water with the bamboo brush called "chasak" (chasen) to produce a smooth and velvety matcha drink. The chavan often has an elegant and unique design and is considered an important attribute of the tea ceremony.
The traditional Japanese matcha tea ceremony is a highly ritualistic event that is practiced with great care and respect for the tea and the guests.
