Egg Hookah – Handmade Bowls from Japan
The bowls from Egg Hookah, originating from Japan, are true works of art. Anyone familiar with ceramic craftsmanship knows that Japan has a long tradition in this field. Many Japanese people value their handmade ceramic ware so much that they prefer to repair broken ceramics with gold rather than discard them – a technique known as Kintsugi.
This long tradition of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship also influenced the founder of Egg Hookah, Takahiro Wakamura. For Wakamura, a hookah bowl is just as symbolic as a sake cup or a traditional tea bowl. Both represent community and connection, which is why he set out to create a unique series of hookah bowls that are not only functional but also aesthetically distinctive.
The bowls are crafted by master potter Katsumi Ando, who brings over 40 years of experience in pottery. Each bowl is meticulously handcrafted from heat-resistant, high-quality ceramic and impresses with extraordinary color glazes and a refined design. The Rikyu Bowls from Egg Hookah combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design, making them a perfect choice for those who appreciate something truly special.
Tradition Meets Functionality
The traditional bowls from Egg Hookah are created through an elaborate manufacturing process. A specially formulated clay blend is used, fired at high temperatures of 1200°C. This high firing temperature results in an exceptionally durable and long-lasting ceramic that is not only visually striking but also provides excellent heat retention. This positively impacts the smoking experience, ensuring even heating of the tobacco.
The shape of the Rikyu traditional bowl is inspired by a classic Turkish bowl, with Egg Hookah placing great emphasis on precise craftsmanship. Weighing 170g and standing at approximately 8.5 cm in height, the bowl sits securely on any hookah and is suitable for both Dark Blend tobacco and Virginia hookah tobacco. With a capacity of 15-20g, it is perfect for longer smoking sessions.
Each Bowl is Unique
Due to the intricate handcrafting process, each Egg Hookah bowl is one of a kind. The natural variations in shape and color make each piece a unique work of art. This reflects the Japanese philosophy of perfection in imperfection – an approach deeply embedded in the country’s culture.
The unique glaze on each bowl enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it a true eye-catcher in any hookah collection. As the bowls are made from high-quality ceramic, they may experience a phenomenon known as "bleeding" over time – a natural process where molasses seeps into the pores of the material.

With the Rikyu Bowls, Egg Hookah brings centuries-old Japanese ceramic tradition into the hookah world. Each individual piece embodies exceptional craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetics. If you're looking for an extraordinary hookah bowl that not only delivers outstanding performance but also serves as a true piece of art, an Egg Hookah bowl is the perfect choice.
