Higashi Kiln Light Fleur Tobe Rice Bowl
This charming Tobe ware Japanese rice bowl features a beautiful flower in a gentle light blue on the inside and a soft green on the outside.
The subtle colors decorate the blooming flowers painted on a white porcelain canvas. Small dots painted in gold are scattered, adding a discreet accent to the overall design.
Higashi Kiln employs a unique technique called "Washi-zome." Colors and designs are added to the unglazed surfaces using Japanese Washi paper. This technique adds a watercolor-like softness to the floral patterns which creates a pleasant atmosphere on a table.
This rice bowl fits well in one hand and is easy to hold. You can enjoy the detailed texture of the washi-zome upclose as you savor hot rice with this bowl.
Higashi Kiln's style is famous for their glass-like smoothness and the usage of the soft and pastel colors like watercolor paintings, which is not bound by conventional frameworks of Tobe ware. The painting is done by female artist, Alyne Ohigashi, who was born in the Philippines and has been involved with creating Tobe ware items for more than 30 years at Higashi Kiln.

Beautiful rice bowl we are using as a fruit bowl. Very durable and lightweight. Adore the soft watercolor print and earthy hues. Arrived within two days, beautifully wrapped as with everything else we've received from Musubi thus far.
