Japanese Dark Green Bowl, Cherry Blossoms

A wide, very dark green bowl, where cherry branches blossom on the inside.

The deep green glaze, speckled almost to black, reveals fine golden-brown branches carrying white cherry blossoms on the inside. The exterior remains plain and understated.

The cherry blossom, sakura, is the emblem of spring in Japan. Every year, its brief and eagerly awaited blooming is celebrated during hanami, the tradition of gathering beneath the trees in flower. Its fleeting beauty is an invitation to savour the present moment.

At 19.7 cm in diameter and 6.8 cm high, this bowl suits ramen, noodles, salads or dishes with sauce.

It is part of the shop’s dark green sakura collection, with a rice bowl, plates, dishes and small dishes in the same decoration.
