This bowl features one of the signature motifs of Tobe ware. The graceful arabesque design is brought to life by dynamic hand-painted brushstrokes, inspired by nature and the striking contrast of indigo on porcelain white.
The bowl is perfect for gyudon, oyakodon, and other donburi dishes. It can also be used to serve noodle dishes like udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add different toppings.

Maker / Brand
Baizan Kiln, the oldest existing kiln in Tobe City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is cherished for its creations featuring simple yet dynamic brushstrokes and a sturdy, robust form. Its warm white porcelain pieces are adorned with deep indigo and colorful patterns, and their thick, solid shapes evoke a sense of unpretentious, wholesome beauty. In 1976, Baizan Kiln was officially recognized as a traditional craft maker by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry.
Origin
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.
