Hasami Ware Sometsuke Warikusabana Usagimon Yukiwa Kozuke Small Bowl 9.5cm

A tabletop accent that combines antique charm with playful design

This small bowl (kozuke) from Hasami ware・Takayama Togei is edged with a traditional "yukiwa (snow ring) pattern" that expresses a snowflake with gentle curves.

Painted with an antique (sometsuke) cobalt blue, reminiscent of nostalgic antiques, are delicate wild flowers. And if you peek into the bowl, an adorable rabbit peeks out from the bottom. This clever trick, where the rabbit appears as you eat your meal, brings a gentle smile to your daily dining table.

Specialist staff comment on "feel and usability"

When you hold it, you feel a perfect balance of stability, neither too heavy nor too light, at about 100g. The surface has the glossy, "smooth" texture characteristic of porcelain, making it excellent to the touch and comfortable to hold.

With a diameter of 9.5cm and a height of 5cm, this size is incredibly versatile for daily menus. Its ample depth makes it ideal for saucy side dishes like hijiki stew, spinach ohitashi, or vinegared salads, allowing them to be neatly and beautifully mounded. It's a versatile player, perfect for everyday "just one more dish," for festive occasions like New Year's, or as a hospitality vessel for guests.

Practicality that suits modern life

Despite its traditional appearance, it is compatible with microwave ovens and dishwashers. Made of easy-to-handle porcelain, its high functionality, typical of Hasami ware, which blends well with modern lifestyles, is also attractive.
