This blue and white bowl is made by Le Sanpei Kiln. Its simple design, featuring flowing orchids, makes it a versatile piece for any dish. As one of the kiln's most popular and classic items, it embodies timeless elegance.

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 of 16.5 cm (6.5 in) is suitable for serving salads or side dishes such as sunomono (vinegared food), Aemono(seasoned and sauced food), and nimono (simmered food). This is also perfect for serving desserts and fruits.
