Zafura Green Shallow Bowl
The details
About this piece
The bowl is the most used piece on a Japanese table: rice, soup, noodles, a little of everything. It is made to be held in two hands, so its weight and the feel of its rim matter as much as its look.
The material
Porcelain is fired at a very high temperature until the clay turns dense, hard and smooth. It is thin for its strength, takes bright colour and fine painting well, and rings clearly when tapped.
Its character
Glazes and decoration vary slightly from piece to piece, so yours may differ a little from the photograph. That is part of how ceramics are made.

Our story
The fire of stone
石の火
Ishi no KA means “the fire of stone”: the place where raw earth meets heat and becomes something lasting.
We choose each piece in Tokyo, working with kilns and workshops across Japan, and we keep their small natural variations, because imperfection is the mark of a human hand.
