Tambaware is said to have originated from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period, and is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns (certified as a Japan Heritage site). Tetsuji Ichino of Ichino Satoru Kiln (Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture) expresses geometric and smooth lines using his unique technique of "colored line inlay," where patterns are carved freehand and colored clay is embedded. He has received numerous accolades, including selection for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition and the Hyogo Prefectural Arts Encouragement Award.
This katakuchi bowl features colorful vertical line inlays that draw the eye to the spout on the rim. Available in two color combinations, yellow x brown and blue x green, it adds a modern touch to your dining table.
This convenient katakuchi bowl with a spout is not only perfect for dressings and sauces, but also serves as a small bowl or sake cup, making it a versatile item.
Each inlay is applied freehand, resulting in variations in the color scheme and thickness of the lines. Even within the same product, each piece offers a unique appearance.
