Auspicious crane pattern
This rice bowl is boldly decorated with a crane with its wings spread wide. 
Each crane is brought to life one by one by the hands of craftsmen. You can feel the warmth of handiwork from the gentle expression of the round eyes. Although it uses traditional motifs, it seems like it will blend in with a variety of modern dining tables. 
Stable rice bowl
Relatively shallow, solid sense of stability! Another nice feature is that it's easy to hold because your fingers can rest firmly on the large foot ring. 
When you sit down to eat, the cranes peeking out at you will make you feel at ease. If you share your life with "Good morning" and "Thank you for your hard work", you'll probably feel a little more energized.
