Blue Tokusa Mino Ware Donburi Bowl L

This large-sized Japanese donburi bowl features a traditional Japanese pattern called tokusa “horsetail” in blue on white porcelain. The simple yet memorable design makes it suitable for any table setting.

The bowl is perfect for gyudon, oyakodon, and other donburi dishes. It can also be used to serve noodle dishes like udon or soba. With its depth, it can easily hold generous portions of noodles and plenty of toppings.

Beloved since the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE), this pattern of straight vertical lines is inspired by the Japanese plant tokusa, known in English as rough horsetail. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and prosperity since it grows unwaveringly upwards. The simplicity of the lines, each drawn by hand with delicate precision, enhances the visual interest expressed when viewing the bowl from different angles.

Mino ware boasts a remarkable variety of styles and is celebrated for its rich traditional heritage, while also excelling in the production of contemporary pottery. It is widely distributed in Japan, yet retains a very high quality, which makes it a wonderful choice for daily use.
