A Fawn Spot Pattern Conveying Craftsmanship and Warmth
We've reimagined an old ceramic design as a fawn spot pattern. Created using the wax-resist technique—applying circular wax on white slip, then glazing and firing—this labor-intensive process has continued since ancient times.
Each bowl is completely hand-shaped, lending a uniquely handcrafted presence that adds to its charm. The design expresses both the time-consuming care and warmth of traditional craftsmanship.

[Before use]
To prevent staining in the crazing (fine cracks on the surface), we recommend performing the following "Medome" (seasoning) process:
1. Put the dish in a pot with rice water (water from washing rice) or water with flour, and heat over medium heat.
2. Just before boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and let it cool completely in the rice/flour water.
4. Wash well and dry thoroughly.
[When using]
Avoid sudden heating or cooling as it is sensitive to rapid temperature changes. Soaking the dish in water to allow it to absorb sufficient moisture before use helps prevent stains and odors.
[After use]
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity. Overloading may cause damage, so please use with care.
Do not scrub hard with abrasive detergents or metal scourers, as this may cause scratches. Wash with a soft sponge.
Avoid soaking. After washing, wipe with a soft, dry cloth, dry thoroughly, and store in a well-ventilated place.
[Notes]
Be careful of chipping or cracking due to strong impacts.
For safety, stop using the product if it becomes cracked. Crazing (fine cracks on the surface) may appear over time with use, but this does not affect usability. Please enjoy it as part of the product's character. As each item is finished by hand, there may be individual differences in color and shape.
Perfect Size for Hearty Meals
With a size that fits comfortably in adult hands, this bowl has a satisfying thickness that brings a warm atmosphere to your table. Its depth provides ample capacity for those days when you need a more substantial meal.
Created with Jū, Working on Contemporary Mashiko-yaki
The Good Day Rice Bowl series offers various patterns created with kilns from across Japan. This 'Ronuki Kanoko' was created with Jū, a pottery working on sustainable contemporary Mashiko ware based on its history, using traditional clay, glazes, and techniques.
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.
