Kousai Kiln Playful Rabbit Hasami Japanese Rice Bowl
Enjoy eating rice from this bowl with the cute bunny rabbit from Kousai Kiln.
This charmingly designed rice bowl is handmade combining the Shigaraki style of yakishime (high-fired unglazed ceramics) and the traditional somenishiki, a technique where a product is first glazed with white and blue patterns and then is further decorated with detailed hand-painted drawings. Stoneware items are rarely seen in Hasami Ware. Items from Kousai Kiln are popular for their unique style and designs on the rustic texture of stoneware.
The face of the rabbit and traditional Japanese patterns are coated with a smooth glaze and the remaining surface retains its coarse and rustic stoneware texture. The rabbit's ears peek out from the rim of the rice bowl and its tail is neatly painted on the back side of the bowl. Find the rabbit's small little paws on the foot of the bowl.
Enjoy the different traditional Japanese patterns painted on the rice bowl; the hemp leaf pattern in red, the seigaiha ocean wave pattern in Indigo blue, the shippou interlocking circular patterns in green and the jimon (a design used for kimono fabric) pattern in blue.
This rice bowl can be enjoyed adults as well as children. Group this rice bowl with the matching cup and plate to make a complete set with the "Playful Rabbit" motif.
