Small Japanese Bowls, Dark Green with Cherry Blossom – Set of 5

Five small very dark green bowls, where branches of cherry blossom bloom inside.

The deep green glaze, speckled and almost black, reveals inside fine golden brown branches bearing white cherry blossoms. The outside stays plain and understated.

The cherry blossom, sakura, is the emblem of spring in Japan. Every year its brief and eagerly awaited flowering is celebrated with hanami, the tradition of gathering under the trees in bloom. Its fleeting beauty invites us to savour the present moment.

At 11 cm in diameter and 4.4 cm high, these small bowls suit side dishes, sauces, pickles or desserts.

They complete the rice bowl, plates and large plate of the shop’s dark green sakura collection.
