Owner's Comment
The dragonfly, symbolizing lightness and vitality, is gracefully depicted against a calm beige background.
A touch of gold adds subtle brilliance to the soft gray glaze, giving the bowl a quiet yet dignified beauty.
This serene piece can be enjoyed in any season — a work that reflects the understated elegance of Kyoto craftsmanship.
