Playful Deer as Symbols of Fortune and Joy
Deer have long symbolized good fortune and joy because the word for 'deer' sounds similar to 'roku' (prosperity) in Japanese. They have been popular motifs on ceramics throughout history. This bowl recreates the beautiful Susaka-de style from the Edo period, where brown glaze is used to create white spaces depicting birds and plants. The white, adorable deer seem to play in the 'withered field' of the bowl.
The Natural 'Wavering' of Handcraftsmanship Adds Charm
In the Good Day Rice Bowl series, each pattern is hand-painted, making every piece unique with its own individual character. This 'wavering' quality characteristic of craft is a beauty that comes only from handwork. Through these daily rice bowls, please enjoy the charm of craftsmanship that has been loved and continued for generations.
May Your Daily Rice Bowl Bring Good Days
The Good Day Rice Bowl series was created with the hope that 'everyday items should bring good days.' Japanese rice bowls developed from tea ceremony traditions while being influenced by continental culture. They have fostered customs of hand-holding etiquette and a culture of diverse decorative painting that brightens daily life. Contemporary artisans carrying on this history finish each piece with meticulous handwork. Please enjoy their comforting presence and the rich world created by various patterns.
