Exquisitely balanced design
This rice bowl has a lovely color that makes you feel relieved. The curved shape fits easily in your hand, making your everyday meals even more delicious. 
The warm, powdery texture and the slightly smaller, smooth height create an exquisite balance that gives both a soft and sharp impression.
Large size recommended for men
It is a slightly larger size that is easy to use even for men. I want to enjoy the season: green pea rice in spring, corn rice in summer, chestnut rice in autumn, sweet potato rice in winter...

| Kiln's recommendation Maintenance | ・Kowahiki is water-absorbent and tends to leave stains, so we recommend sealing it before use. Most water stains disappear when dry, but if used without sealing, oil stains and stains from dark colors such as soy sauce and coffee tend to remain. ・When serving oily foods, soak them in water before use to prevent stains. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There are black spots called iron spots throughout. There may be pinholes, etc., or the pattern or color may be different. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・As you use it, it may become colored or darken over time. We hope you enjoy the change over time as a flavor. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |

2004 Started making pottery at Furutani Seitosho
Special ``powdered white products'' We work hard every day to create ``powdered white products'' that bring out the elegance and warmth of any dish. We are also particular about the soil we use, and use our own unique soil for potter's wheel and tatara molding. The dough is molded from red clay, coated with white mud, glazed and fired. To make it comfortable to use and microwave safe, it is not coated with any chemicals or liquid ceramics after firing. Instead, by repeating the firing process called ``honyaki'' twice, the product is made more durable and of a quality that can be used safely in daily life.
Thoughts on items
"The most important time in daily life" It's a time when families gather together to eat dinner and relax while drinking tea or coffee. In order to make that time more fulfilling, we strive to create pottery that can be closely connected to people's lives. “Powdered White” is a white with a gentle expression. It's a simple white that complements any dish and can be used every day. In addition, the gentle, rustic earthiness that appears beneath the surface of the pottery gives it a great depth of pottery. We would be most happy if you could use and enjoy the warmth of our Japanese tableware in your daily life.
Kiln owner's recommendation for maintenance
-After use, wash the pot as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odor.
Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions
-There may be pinholes, patterns, and colors may vary.
-The surface of the items may have very small "black spots" or "paint splashes" or "pinholes that do not reach the base of the items.
-This product is recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture of handmade products with a different look and feel for each piece.
-The surface of the glaze may be cracked during use, but this is not a crack or breakage and will not interfere with its use.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
