This Japanese rice bowl has a typical design of the Ko-Kutani (old Kutani) style dating back to mid-17th century, depicting the nature-themed motif and traditional patterns and distinctive bright colors of Kutani ware.

It is painted with the five colors of red, yellow, green, purple and dark blue, known as "Go-Sai" in Japanese. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted bird and flowers are slightly thickened and standing out.

This rice bowl is an excellent choice for daily use at the dining table. Also, the gorgeous design makes it perfect for use at festive occasions.

Kutani Ware is recognized around the world as "Japan Kutani" and has been renowned for its quality. The charm of Kutani ware lies in its unique layered colors (red, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue), which give the porcelain a sense of dignity. The traditional craft of Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, which boasts a history and tradition of about 360 years, adds vivid color to everyday life.
