This bowl has a painting of Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and it features a warm handicraft shape and a unique foot design.
Throughout his life, Hokusai painted waves as the main subject of his paintings along with Mount Fuji. Hokusai's expression of the ever-changing movement of water captures the hearts of those who see it, even in modern times.
Each piece is handcrafted by an artisan of Kutani ware. It is painted with Japanese color paints using a brush, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened.
With the combination of Kutani ware with the masterpiece of the genius artist Hokusai Katsushika, the bowl has truly an eye-stopping charm for anyone.
It is perfect for serving rice as well as yogurt, ice cream and fruit.

Maker / Brand
At Bizan Kiln, each product is hand-painted by artisans who put in their hearts and souls. The viscosity of the paint, brushes, and techniques used are frequently adjusted based on the design, and each piece is finished by hand. The graceful, delicate, yet bold colors and sense of dignity are typical of Kutani ware.
Because the temperature and position of pieces in the kiln results in natural variations, every single piece is unique. Paints are applied to give a textured, three-dimension feel, expressing the warmth of handcrafting.
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.
