Brilliant Colorful Flower Kobachi Bowl

These Japanese Kobachi bowls are decorated with pretty flowers from one of the popular “brilliant flower" series.

They are available as a set of 5 or sold separately in 5 colors: blue, pink, green, yellow, and purple. The flower design in one spot on the outside is Atelier Yu's iconic charm.

As you can see from the gorgeous delicate paintings, they are individually handmade by female artisans. The rim of the bowl has a wavy design that makes the food look beautiful. The soft colors of the bowl will bring a smile and peace to your heart.

Atelier Yu

Nestled at the foot of the sacred Hakusan mountain, Atelier Yu’s workshop is a serene space where inspiration flows from its surrounding natural beauty. Seasonal blooms visible through the windows—cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and sunflowers in summer, and bush clovers in autumn—often find their way into the artisans' designs, reflecting the charm of wildflowers alongside delightful animal motifs. 

Skilled female artisans infuse each piece with gentle, soft colors, embracing the five traditional colors of Kutani ware, known as Kutani Gosai. They imbue each creation with warmth, crafting pottery that brings joy to everyday dining and a smile to all who use it.

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.

The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.
