Imari Ware Red Jusso Covered Dish 11cm [Limited Quantity]

This limited edition "Red Tokusa Lidded Bowl" is crafted by Kanuemon Kiln, an Imari ware producer.

The "Tokusa" pattern, a vertical stripe design, has been cherished since ancient times. Kanuemon Kiln's Red Tokusa exhibits a gentle warmth in the subtle undulations of each hand-drawn line and the variations in the vermilion red, a testament to its handmade nature.

What allows it to seamlessly blend into modern dining settings while remaining traditional is its "texture." Despite being porcelain, its surface is finished with a high-quality, matte, smooth feel, which beautifully harmonizes not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western tastes and modern spaces.

The "lidded bowl" holds a very special place in Japanese food culture. It provides the excitement of "what could be inside?" when the lid is opened, and allows for an elevated level of hospitality by delivering trapped steam and aromas.

With its small diameter of 11cm, it is perfect for elegantly serving nimono (simmered dishes), aemono (dressed dishes), and konomono (pickles). Furthermore, its versatility is appealing as it can also function as a "refined small bowl" simply by removing the lid.
