This is a Japanese rice bowl by Ri Sanpei (Yi Sam-pyeong) Kiln, a brand by the descendant of Yi Sam-Pyeong, the discoverer of white porcelain ore for Arita ware. Molded on the potter’s wheel, with handwritten flower and arabesque patterns, have an indescribably lovely atmosphere that soothes the hearts of those who see them.

Using the same Izumiyama pottery stone as the first generation, Ri Sanpei (Yi Sam-pyeong) Kiln continues to produce porcelain ware that convey the atmosphere of the early Imari period. The style of early Imari is very different from that of the red and gold painted porcelain that was later exported to the West.

For early Imari, the underglaze blue painted patterns are simple, often painted freely with blue paint called “Gosu”. When fired, the base color of the ware becomes slightly tinted and has a semi-glossy appearance.

Please note that there may be slight differences as all pieces are formed by potter’s wheel and hand-painted.

The size is perfect for a person prefers a small portion of rice or for children.

It is perfectly durable, suitable for long-term use.

Yi Sam-Pyeong, one of the Korean potters in Japan, is said to have first discovered the raw material for white porcelain. Ri Sanpei (Yi Sam-pyeong) Kiln is a brand that handles products supervised by the 13th generation of his direct descendants and products made by the descendants of the 14th generation. The products are handled using the highest quality potter’s clay selected by Kanegae Sanbei (14th generation Yi Sam-Pyeong).
