Shop Owner’s Note

This bowl features a soft, peach-pink Kochi glaze that beautifully highlights the vibrant "Momiji" (Japanese Maple) leaves. In Japan, maple leaves aren't just symbols of autumn; they represent vitality, longevity, and the beauty of life's transitions.

Yamamoto-san’s bold brushwork breathes life into the fiery colors of the forest. It’s a powerful piece that brings the energy of the changing seasons to your table—truly a breathtaking bowl for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection.
