This octagonal blue-and-white kobachi small bowl features simple tokusa blue stripes, shaded with delicate hand-painting. Tokusa, the horsetail plant, is a traditional motif symbolizing longevity in Japanese culture. The indigo hue lends a modern touch, while the natural design reflects the warmth of hand-painted craftsmanship.

Perfect for serving small portions of side dishes like tangy sunomono or simmered nimono, it also suits a scoop of ice cream or some fruit. Its octagonal rim and smoothly rounded body create a design that is both distinctive and functional. Built for durability, it’s ideal for everyday use.
