This Japanese bowl features a delicate painting of a bird perching on the Sakura branch. A traditional Japanese pattern is drawn around it, making it a gorgeous bowl.

It is hand-painted by brush, using Japanese coloring paint which is one of the remarkable features of Kutani ware, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened.

The size is suitable for serving any side dishes such as Sunomono(vinegared food), Aemono(Seasoned or sauced food) or Nimono(simmered food). Or you may use it as a salad bowl or a soup bowl.
