Sakura blossoms spread across the surface of this oval bowl, their forms opening as if caught mid-motion. The design captures the vitality of sakura in full bloom, lending a sense of openness and quiet brightness to the setting.
The Blossoming Sakura Oval Large 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. Delicate gold detailing at the stamens introduces a subtle 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 gives a quiet brightness to the piece. This bowl sits comfortably at the center of the table, making space for generous servings. Whether paired with Japanese or Western tableware, it fits easily 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.
