Sakura blossoms bloom across the surface of this medium bowl, their forms spreading as if caught mid-motion. The design captures the vitality of sakura at their peak, creating a bright and open atmosphere.
The Blossoming Sakura Medium Bowl is crafted by Higashi Kiln, known for its distinctive washi-zome (Japanese paper dyeing) technique. The pink pigment diffuses gently, forming blurred edges that bring depth to the cherry blossom motif. The blossoms are drawn at a generous scale, allowing each form to unfold with quiet movement. Delicate gold detailing at the stamens introduces a note of richness to the composition.
The layered bleeding of pigment produces tonal variation reminiscent of watercolor, offering depth that remains clearly defined without appearing heavy.
This cherry blossom pattern is a collaborative design by MUSUBI KILN and Higashi Kiln. Expressed in a warm color palette, it brings a sense of spring and warmth to the collection. A single bowl can shift the mood of a table, naturally drawing the eye to main dishes and shared items. Whether paired with Japanese or Western tableware, it settles naturally into its surroundings with a light, composed presence.

Maker / Brand
Higashi Kiln’s works are famous for their glass-like smoothness and use of soft and pastel colors that resemble watercolor paintings. This unique style utilizes the beauty of Tobe ware ceramics without being bound by its conventional frameworks.
The painting is performed by woman artist Ohigashi Alyne. Born in the Philippines, she has been creating beautiful, innovative Tobe ware at Higashi Kiln for nearly forty years.
Crafts
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.

Sakura
Japanese cherry blossoms, or sakura, are an iconic symbol of the spring season. Blooming at first bud by bud, then all at once, they drape Japan’s parks and avenues with delicate clouds of white and pink. Ephemeral, the blossoms fall quickly, reminding us to be in the moment and appreciate each day. Their beauty is celebrated across Japanese art and adorns traditional crafts. Discover the tableware and decor that will bring these graceful flowers into your own home.
Medium Bowls
Medium-sized Japanese bowls are a highly versatile type of tableware. A great go-to for individual servings, they aren’t so big as to be overwhelming but are still large enough for main portions. Donburi dishes, nimono broth dishes, Western-style soups, cereal, and personal servings of salads will fit nicely in these bowls. They can also be used for serving sides or desserts. Our collection comes in a wide variety of patterns, colors, and shapes, making each piece not only convenient but also a stylish addition to your dining table.
This category includes bowls with diameters from 13–20.9 cm (5.1–8.2 in).
