Delicately painted in soft, watercolor-like hues, this beautiful porcelain rice bowl features gentle blue flowers that resemble blossoms in full bloom. The bright, uplifting design makes this piece a joy to set on the table.
The bowl is crafted by Ohigashi Alyne, a female artist originally from the Philippines, one of the noted kilns of Tobe ware. Using a unique technique called washi-zome—inspired by Japanese paper dyeing—she brings her artistic vision to life in porcelain.

Maker / Brand
Higashi Kiln’s works are famous for their glass-like smoothness and use of soft and pastel colors that resemble watercolor paintings. This unique style utilizes the beauty of Tobe ware ceramics without being bound by its conventional frameworks.
The painting is performed by woman artist Ohigashi Alyne. Born in the Philippines, she has been creating beautiful, innovative Tobe ware at Higashi Kiln for over thirty years.
Crafts
Tobe ware is porcelain produced in the Tobe region of Ehime Prefecture, located in the northwest of Shikoku Island. The white porcelain, with its beautiful, slightly bluish hue from the iron content, continues to be highly valued and loved. Tobe ware maintains a strong respect for traditional handicraft techniques, even amidst modernization.

Rice Bowls
Rice bowls are indispensable tableware for the Japanese dining table. Since they are used so often for Japanese food, many people are particular about them. It is important to choose one that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also the right size for your hand and easy to hold.
We recommend that you get a dedicated rice bowl for each member of your family. It's also a good idea to have a few available for different occasions, in varying colors and patterns that match the season and table setting.
Blue
As a cool color, blue evokes feelings of calm, nobility, coolness, and tranquility. It is highly suitable for use in a variety of items, from everyday to celebratory.
Blue is featured prominently across Japanese art: for example, in Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave of Kanagawa. Shades like mizu iro, a pale aqua that literally means "water color," have been used frequently for summer kimonos since the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE). Meanwhile kon, or navy blue, conveys a sense of calm and sophistication and has historically been widely used in daily life. Finally, sometsuke refers to blue and white ceramics, a classic color pairing that is always in style. Explore these and more beautiful blues below.
