Swirled Rim Rabbit Kobachi Small Bowl
This is an indigo-dyed moon and rabbit kobachi small bowl crafted by Takayama, a renowned maker of Hasami porcelain. The inside of the bowl features a charming illustration of a rabbit playfully leaping beneath the moon, delicately painted in soft indigo tones. In Japanese culture, the rabbit is a symbol of fertility, longevity, and prosperity, making it a beloved and auspicious motif. The crackle-like design seen on the bowl is intentionally crafted, adding a playful and artistic touch to the piece.
With its perfect depth, this small bowl is ideal for serving side dishes such as marinated vegetables, pickles, or even desserts and small appetizers. Its simple yet eye-catching design naturally complements both Japanese and Western table settings. Additionally, the back of the bowl is adorned with a traditional arabesque pattern, showcasing intricate beauty even in the unseen details.
