Utensils that give you a sense of warmth
An eye-catching rice bowl with a boldly drawn Gosu pattern. 
The size makes it easy to hold even in women's small hands. You can feel the rough texture of earth in its moist texture. 
Beautiful penetrations here and there give it a tasteful look. This is a pottery that will bring you a warm and gentle feeling and will accompany you in your daily life. 
Because it's something you use every day
Not only glossy white rice, but also mixed grain rice and cooked rice look great. It seems to be useful not only as a rice bowl, but also as a tray for holding hot pot dishes. 
It's also perfect for serving small side dishes for one person, such as fried tofu or boiled vegetables. Eating rice in your favorite utensils tastes even better than usual.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, thickness, and pattern. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 
〇There are crack patterns called intrusions, sunspots, and pinholes on the surface, which are some of the characteristics of earthenware. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

-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.
