This Japanese rice bowl is from the popular "Cats in Sunny Spot" series by Atelier Yu. It features a drawing of two cats snuggled up together. The shape is crafted by a potter's wheel and you can feel the warmth and comfort of holding it in your hand.
The contrast of the soft and relaxing drawings of the cats and the texture of the traditional stoneware colored in blown and white creates a charming and authentic atmosphere.
It is comfortable enough to serve the large portion size of rice. It is also great as a small Donburi bowl. The rich thickness of the stoneware bowl helps keep the rice warm.
You may also find matching teapots, matcha bowls and mugs in our store.

Maker / Brand
Nestled at the foot of the sacred Hakusan mountain, Atelier Yu’s workshop is a serene space where inspiration flows from its surrounding natural beauty. Seasonal blooms visible through the windows—cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and sunflowers in summer, and bush clovers in autumn—often find their way into the artisans' designs, reflecting the charm of wildflowers alongside delightful animal motifs.
Skilled female artisans infuse each piece with gentle, soft colors, embracing the five traditional colors of Kutani ware, known as Kutani Gosai. They imbue each creation with warmth, crafting pottery that brings joy to everyday dining and a smile to all who use it.
Crafts
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.

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.
