Kobachi Small Bowls

Kobachi, literally “small bowls” in Japanese, are designed for serving appetizers and side dishes. Deeper than a small plate but smaller than a main course or ramen bowl, kobachi are just the right size for light stews and simmered vegetables. Incorporating one or several kobachi bowls into a table setting and arranging dishes of different sizes and colors lends your meal an authentic Japanese atmosphere. 

This category includes bowls with diameters under 12.9 cm (5.1 in).

Kacho: Flowers & Birds

The combination of flowers and birds, known in Japanese as kacho, is a very elegant motif popular in Japanese art. It often makes an appearance on kimono and textiles, as well as in maki-e lacquerware and other crafts.

These motifs combine Japanese plants, such as pine, bamboo, and plum, paired with auspicious birds such as cranes, peacocks, and Japanese nightingale.

The beautiful flower and bird patterns are impressive, and would make a great gift for someone special. Try choosing a combination of flowers and birds appropriate to the season to enjoy the many wonders of nature.
