Landscape and Vines Square Kobachi Small Bowl
This elegant square kobachi small bowl is crafted by Takayama, a renowned maker of Hasami porcelain, and is dyed with seitan, a kind of indigo.
The center of the plate features a traditional sansui landscape painting depicting the grandeur of nature, surrounded by a delicate yet bold karakusa arabesque pattern. In Japanese culture, sansui art symbolizes the beauty and majesty of the natural world, while the karakusa motif has long been cherished as an auspicious design representing vitality and prosperity. The combination of these two motifs creates a design that beautifully reflects Japan’s deep appreciation for nature and refined aesthetic sensibilities.
Its versatile design blends seamlessly into both Japanese and Western table settings, making it suitable for everyday use as well as more formal occasions. This square bowl is perfectly sized for serving side dishes such as marinated vegetables, pickles, or even desserts and small appetizers. Its stackable and compact design makes it practical and easy to store.
This bowl is ideal for those new to Japanese tableware and also makes a thoughtful and elegant gift. The harmonious blend of traditional motifs brings a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication to any dining experience.
