Shepherd’s Purse Kobachi Small Bowl

This kobachi bowl features a delicate pattern of shepherd’s purse, a plant that becomes even more distinctive as its heart-shaped seed pods appear. Known as nazuna in Japanese, it’s considered an auspicious symbol believed to ward off evil spirits. The indigo design brings a modern touch while preserving the charm of hand-painted craftsmanship.

The size makes it perfect for serving side dishes like tangy sunomono or gently simmered nimono.

It also works beautifully for condiments or desserts. Place it on a larger plate or tuck it into a bento box for a more polished, well-curated presentation.

With its square rim and smoothly rounded body, the bowl offers a unique shape that’s both stylish and durableideal for everyday use or special occasions.
