Mino Ware - Hokusai's Great Wave Large Bowl 12.8cm

🌸 Japan's Largest Ceramic Producer Mino Ware: Specialists in Exquisite Tableware 🏮 Hailing from Gifu Prefecture, Japan (Toki, Tajimi, Mizunami, Kani), Mino Ware is one of Japan's oldest regional kilns. Its history of producing tableware dates back to the 14th century, and today, approximately 60% of Japan's domestic ceramic tableware originates from Mino, making it the nation's top producer. Mino Ware is renowned for its pure colors, delicate textures, and smooth glazes. It is highly regarded as premium tableware among Japanese ceramic dishes and was designated a National Traditional Craft in 1988. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54793549288_cc005d00b5_w.jpg 🌊 Ukiyo-e × Mino Ware – Elegant and Practical Everyday Ware This wide-bottomed bowl, larger than a typical rice bowl, features the iconic "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the master Ukiyo-e artist Hokusai on its inner surface. The fine brushstrokes and varying shades of blue capture the majestic power of the waves. Unlike the vibrant colors of Kutani Ware, this piece presents a refined, low-saturation palette. Complemented by the unique luster of high-quality Mino porcelain, it beautifully balances artistic charm with suitability for everyday dining. Whether used as a soup bowl, dessert bowl, or given as a gift, it embodies a distinct Japanese aesthetic and lifestyle. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54793533709_27b85458f3_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54792448152_737e8f7958_w.jpg 【Product Specifications】 Dimensions: Diameter 12.8cm × Height 7cm Suitable for: Microwave use Not suitable for: Direct open flame Packaging: Does not include a gift box; packed with protective bubble wrap.
