Japanese bowls Tako karakusa indigo blue – Set of 5

Five bowls with the indigo blue tako karakusa motif.

The scrolls curl on a slightly speckled light grey background. Their rim undulates and takes on an irregular brown tint, and a fine blue line runs inside, below the rim.

This traditional Japanese motif owes its name to its small round leaves, which recall the suckers of an octopus, tako. Their grainy surface gives them a rustic character.

The same design can be found on the oval salad bowl and the Tako karakusa square plate.

They come from the Toki-Tajimi region, Gifu Prefecture, home of Mino ceramics.

For rice, miso soup, noodles or side dishes. Made in Japan.
