RYOUKA Kobachi Small Bowl
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This beautiful lotus-shaped kobachi small bowl is from the RYOUKA series of USUKIYAKI. The lotus petal design, characteristic of Usuki ware, enhances the food as if it were a picture frame. The area around Usuki City is known for its beautiful lotus flowers. The wavy rim cast shadows on the plate and table, creating a beautiful look.
It is just the right size to hold appetizers and side dishes. It is also convenient for holding desserts, yogurt, fruit, and more.
This piece is crafted using a technique known as katauchi (molding). The sheet-shaped clay is placed on a plaster mold, and is shaped with the fingers, including each petal. This process gives the work a handmade feel that cannot be achieved through mass production, and gives it a stoneware-like appearance even though it is a porcelain piece.

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).
