This Kobachi 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 a technique of "Sometsuke" (underglaze cobalt blue) painting on a base brilliantly fired to a pure white, each piece is meticulously crafted, embodying the essence of Seto Sometsuke ware.

Since the painting is done by the hands of artisans, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each stroke varies in thickness, neither too straight nor too rigid, exuding a gentle softness.

Its size is ideal for presenting salads, fruits, and side dishes. The depth of the bowl makes it versatile for serving dishes with broth or even ice cream. It's a piece that can be utilized regardless of the season.

Founded in 1919, "SINGAMA" is a pottery studio located in the northeastern part of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, in a place called "Shinano." The pottery is made from high-quality Seto clay and adorned with indigo Seto Sometsuke, displaying soft and delicate patterns and a simple yet charming design. The dishes, brimming with the warmth of handcraftsmanship, add a comforting touch to everyday life. Seto Sometsuke ware is characterized by its overall pale blue color and gentle style.
