This mokko-shaped small bowl features a modern interpretation of the traditional classic patterns of old Imari. Mokko is the name for a round squarish shape and is considered an auspicious shape which represents family prosperity.
"Aka" means red and "dami" is the name for the technique where the artist first outlines the area to be painted with a thin brush and then fills in the remaining space with a larger brush with different shades of the same color. This technique can only be done beautifully by a highly skilled artisan.
The center of the bowl is designed with plants painted in an elegant blue color. And the sides of the bowl are decorated with festive and gorgeous patterns high-lighted with gold paint.
This bowl can be used to serve dishes with a sauce or a soup. It can also be used to serve a small salad or to plate cooked vegetables like edamame. A versatile yet very elegant item that will brighten up your table.

Hasami ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic produced in Hasami Town, often called the "Town of Pottery," located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. For over 400 years, it has been cherished as durable and practical tableware for everyday use.
It is known for its vibrant hand-painted designs on a pure white porcelain base—an iconic feature of Japanese porcelain. While Hasami ware continues to honor traditional patterns, artisans are constantly creating new designs that suit contemporary lifestyles, blending timeless beauty with modern functionality.

Large vases and plate sets were crafted especially for European royalty and nobility, and these pieces were highly valued as elegant and beautiful additions to their palaces.
This collection features luxurious gold accents, deep shades of red, and elegant blues. Many designs are densely packed with intricate patterns set within balanced, symmetrical compositions. Floral motifs, particularly those of peonies and chrysanthemums, frequently appear.
