Hasami Ware

Hasami ware, a traditional porcelain from Nagasaki Prefecture, has been crafted for over 400 years in the town of Hasami\just about 10 kilometers from Arita, the birthplace of Japanfs porcelain. While Arita ware flourished as an art form known for its elaborate decorations and luxury appeal, Hasami developed as a center for everyday tableware, valued for its practicality and refined simplicity. During the Edo period, Hasami became one of Japanfs main producers of daily-use porcelain, supplying durable and beautifully made pieces to households across the country. That spirit continues today, as Hasami artisans blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design, creating timeless and often playfully charming tableware that fits perfectly into contemporary life.

Donburi Bowl

This medium bowl is designed to serve the quintessential Japanese comfort meal called donburi, a one-bowl rice dish. Don (丼) refers to this special bowl in which fluffy steamed rice is topped with seasoned vegetables, meat and/or seafood, and garnishes. It's perfect for dishes like chicken and egg bowl (oyakodon), grilled eel bowl (unadon), poke bowl, mapo tofu, and minced chicken bowl (soboro don). It also doubles as a noodle bowl for a small serving of udon or soba noodle soup.
