This Japanese blue and white rice bowl, crafted by the Le Sanpei (Yi Sam-pyeong) Kiln, is shaped on the potter’s wheel and adorned with hand-painted floral and arabesque patterns. Its indescribable charm has a soothing effect on those who behold it.

For early Imari, the underglaze blue painted patterns are simple, often painted freely with blue paint called gosu. When fired, the base color of the ware becomes slightly tinted and has a semi-glossy appearance.

The size is perfect for those who prefer a small portion of rice or for children. It is perfectly durable, suitable for long-term use.
