Red Flower and Dragonfly Donburi Bowl M

The hand-painted motif on this donburi bowl gracefully transitions between a flower and a dragonfly. The charming design is rendered in blue and red on white porcelain.

Created using the tsuketate technique, where each stroke is applied without outlines, the design wins you over with its hand-painted touch and genuine creativity.

The sturdy bowl is microwave- and dishwasher-safe, with excellent heat retention. Its outward-curving rim makes it perfect for ramen, as well as udon and soba.

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.
