Mangrove & Sagaribana Rice Bowl, Black — Okinawa

A "chawan" (rice bowl) from Iriomote-yaki Seiho Kiln, which carries the grandeur of Iriomote Island's nature and the warmth of handwork, taking as its motif mahogany and plants full of life.
"Hirugi" (mangrove), the plant that represents the island, and "sakaribana" (sagaribana), the dreamlike flower that blooms for a single night, giving off a fleeting sweet scent. The breath of Iriomote's beautiful nature is drawn broadly in a vivid blue that draws you in.
A fitting plainness that makes the most of the clay, and a comfortable roundness that suits the hand. Every time you serve rice, the vivid blue and the beautifully hand-painted motif meet the eye and bring the table to life.
A piece that carries the wind of Iriomote Island, making the everyday "itadakimasu" a little more special.
