Kobachi Small Bowls
Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere.
This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).
Plum Blossom
The lovely shape of the plum blossom, its fragrance, and its unique branching are loved by many. Plum blossoms have been appreciated in Japan for over one thousand years, and appear in many classic works of Japanese art and literature, including Japan's oldest poetry anthology, the Manyoshu. Plum blossom motifs appear in Japanese crafts and kimonos, picture scrolls and ukiyo-e. Bring plum blossom motifs into your home for a classic design that's always in style.
