A Hand-painted Chōjū-giga Bowl Born in Kyoto, Echoing a Millennium of History

Featuring animals from Chōjū-giga, often called Japan's oldest comic, this bowl is adorned with rhythmic brushstrokes that seem to capture the very breath of the artist.

When the bowls are stacked, their design appears from the rim, offering a special moment as if you were holding an emakimono (picture scroll) in your hands.

This piece harmonizes the delicate craftsmanship of Kiyomizu-ware with the light, flowing design of the emakimono, creating a unique and exquisite bowl.

The perfect size for salad, soup, or small side dishes, this versatile bowl can even be used as a rice bowl.

Handcrafted by skilled Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware artisans, this bowl is a unique piece of Kyoto ceramics.

It also makes a wonderful gift, allowing you to share the joy of Japanese tradition and beauty with someone special.
