Rice Bowl Tokusa Blue | Hasami Ware

Tasteful appearance

This is a dyed rice bowl with a gentle appearance that blends in with your daily life. Tokusa is a traditional pattern that has been popular in Japan since ancient times. You can feel the gentleness that can only be achieved by hand in the lines that are carefully added one by one with a brush. The iron powder that appears little by little on the gray ground is also a highlight. The muted color makes it easy to match with any dish, making it a staple on your dining table.

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 a little deep, so it's also great for holding soup. Because they are indispensable to your daily dining table, the classic Japanese patterns will stay with you for a long time and you will never get tired of them.

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, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is applied by hand, 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Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
