Discover the gentle warmth of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with this handmade rice bowl from ChiyoIchi Tobo Kiln, a respected studio from the Tamba region—one of Japan’s historic Six Ancient Kilns.
Each bowl is crafted using the nerikomi technique, a method of layering different colored clays to create graceful marbled patterns. No two pieces are exactly the same, making each one a functional work of art.
The interior of the bowl features an elegant, glossy light pink glaze, softly harmonizing with the natural clay and its matte exterior finish. The balance of color and texture conveys a sense of calm refinement and warmth.
Sized for versatility—perfect for serving rice, small side dishes, or even desserts. Whether used for daily meals or as a display piece, it reflects quiet beauty and refined taste.
Only a limited number are made, even within Japan. Each bowl is carefully shaped and finished by hand, ensuring a warm, human touch in every detail.
A perfect choice for collectors of Japanese ceramics or those seeking a heartfelt, high-quality gift.
