Store Owner's Comment
This Kouchi small bowl features an adorable Ikkanjin peeking out from the rim of the dish.
Vividly depicted with lush green bamboo, it creates a refreshing and elegant atmosphere. As bamboo grows straight, it is also cherished as a propitious motif symbolizing healthy growth and prosperity.
The lustrous Kouchi glaze and intricate painting are beautiful, making this a piece that adds color to your dining table just by serving side dishes or dressed vegetables.
