Large Japanese tako karakusa and patchwork bowls – Set of 2

Two large flared blue and white bowls with complementary decorations.

One is covered with the tako karakusa pattern, the other with a patchwork of traditional motifs. Tako karakusa owes its name to its small round leaves, which evoke the suckers of an octopus, tako. The patchwork recalls pieced-together fabrics.

They come from the Toki-Tajimi area in Gifu Prefecture, the cradle of Mino ware.

For salads, ramen, noodles or sharing dishes. Made in Japan.
