Blue and Red Line Donburi Bowl S

Thick blue and fine red lines alternate around the whole exterior of snow-white porcelain of this donburi bowl. The blue lines are drawn using the traditional gosu pigment, while the red accents enhance the design.

The hand-painted blue patterns are made using the tsuketate technique, where each stroke is applied without outlines. This gives the bowl a fluid, dynamic feel.

The bowl is suited for smaller servings for gyudon, oyakodon, and other donburi dishes. It can also be used to serve single portionss of noodle dishes like udon or soba. It may be slightly small for ramen if you wish to add different toppings.

Baizan Kiln

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.

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.
