This is a Japanese rice bowl by Le Sanpei (Yi Sam-pyeong) Kiln, a brand by the descendant of Yi Sam-Pyeong. Molded on the potter's wheel, with handwritten rabbits and reticulated patterns, have an indescribably lovely atmosphere that soothes the hearts of those who see them.
The rabbit in the center is drawn in a round shape with blue pigment called gosu, and then the gosu is scraped off to form the shape of a rabbit. The outlines of the face and legs are then drawn in lines.
The size is perfect for those who prefer a small portion of rice or for children.

Maker / Brand
In the early seventeenth century, Korean craftsman Yi Sam-pyeong, known as Le Sanpei (also spelled Ri Sanpei) in Japanese, discovered pottery stone in Izumiyama, Arita. This led to the creation of the oldest porcelain in Japan, known today as Arita ware. He also founded Le Sanpei Kiln, which operated for four generations before closing, though his name and legacy endured.
In 1920, Le’s thirteenth-generation descendant revived the kiln, which has been in operation ever since. Now led by the fourteenth generation kiln master, Le Sanpei’s exceptional porcelain craftsmanship lives on today.
Crafts
Crafted in the historic town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture, Arita ware stands as the most venerable porcelain production hub in the annals of Japanese history. Characterized by its ethereal translucent white surface adorned with vibrant paintings, it has profoundly influenced the porcelain craft across Europe.
Within Japan, Arita ware is held in high esteem as a prestigious brand, with the town of Arita acknowledged as a quintessential production area.
