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).
"Seigaiha" Ocean Waves
Originating from the continent and introduced to Japan in ancient times, the Seigaiha pattern, with its concentric circles expanding in a fan-like shape, evokes the serene waves of the ocean. It serves as a symbol of unbroken peace and tranquility. This pattern is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture, finding its use in a variety of contexts including kimonos and crafts. Due to its versatility and timeless beauty, it is suitable for any occasion.
