Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This bowl features the traditional Japanese hemp leaf pattern. The hemp leaf is considered as a symbol of good luck meant to ward off evil and is commonly used on kimono and tableware.
Employing the underglaze style of sometsuke (underglaze cobalt blue), each piece is meticulously crafted, embodying the essence of Seto Sometsuke ware.
Since the painting is done by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each stroke varies in thickness, neither too straight nor too rigid, exuding a gentle softness.
The size is suitable for serving salads, pasta, and fruit. A very versatile piece that can be matched with other items from the same kiln for a coordinated table setting.

Maker / Brand
Founded in 1919, SINGAMA is a family-run pottery studio in Shinano, a small town nestled in the northeastern hills of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. Using high-quality local clay, the studio specializes in Seto sometsuke—white porcelain adorned with soft, indigo blue designs. Each piece is hand-painted and crafted to express comfort, with gentle forms and warmth that feel at home on the everyday table.
Crafts
Made in and around Seto City in Aichi Prefecture, Seto ware encompasses a wide range of ceramics that reflect centuries of craftsmanship and innovation. As one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns (Rokkoyo), the Seto region holds a distinguished place in the country’s ceramic heritage. It was also a pioneer in porcelain mass-production, and its widespread use gave rise to the word setomono—a term still used today to refer to ceramics in general.
Remarkable for its stylistic breadth, Seto is one of the few regions in Japan where both stoneware and porcelain are made. From simple everyday tableware to more refined pieces, Seto ware continues to shape the rhythm of daily life with creations that balance tradition and creativity.
