This Kobachi bowl has a rustic and warm atmosphere with a blue flower and arabesque painted inside. It also has a raised base with a red traditional pattern that brings the bright atmosphere to the dining table.

The subtle texture created by “Yakishime”, which changes its appearance depending on the firing process, is impressive and gives different impressions depending on the angle of view.

The wide rim makes the food look stylish and delicious. It is a plate that can be used for everything from everyday meals to festive dinners.

Kousai Kiln is owned by Hirohiko Umeno, a potter engaged in stoneware making in Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture. He trained at a Kiyomizu Ware kiln in Kyoto City and opened his own kiln in Mt. Nakao in 1991. He produces unique stoneware based on handmade and hand-painted techniques.

The unique motifs of the paintings, such as depictions of plants like flowers and grapes, and animals like cats and rabbits, make it fun to choose from a wide variety of pieces.
