Adorable appearance
A small oval bowl with a strawberry pattern. 
The transparent white porcelain has a slightly bluish tinge, and the blue pattern on the edges stands out, creating an elegant atmosphere. There are a few red strawberries in the center of the bowl. ``The three-dimensional feel of the calyx and the bubbly feel of the seeds are expressed through a technique called ``icchin,'' in which a thin line is squeezed out of mud, and you can enjoy the feel of it as well. The cute designs will bring a sense of comfort to your dining table. 
One more side dish
Just the right size for a small side dish for one person, such as sesame dressing or pickles. Perfect for holding soy sauce for sashimi, sauce for gyoza, and small plates for seasonings. It can also be used as a condiment dish by adding chopped green onions and grated ginger. 
They can also be stacked, so it's a good idea to keep multiple copies for your family or guests. By arranging several small bowls, you can create a lively table setting reminiscent of an obanzai restaurant.

Arita ware
Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many items that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.

-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.
