This handcrafted rice bowl showcases a tranquil presence through flowing glazes that ripple across the surface like waves. Its exterior is carved with shinogi—a traditional decorative technique that creates subtle ridges. The glaze seeps naturally into these grooves, producing a dynamic gradient that shifts with the light.
The deep, nuanced colors and organic flow of the glaze form a scenic landscape on every bowl.
A discreet notch near the foot allows fingers to rest comfortably, preventing slips—a small but thoughtful detail for everyday ease.
About the "Ooze melt" Series “Ooze” (to seep out) × “Melt” (to blend in) — Each piece is created with the hope that it gently melts into your daily life, your surroundings, and the palm of your hand.

When using a dishwasher, ensure that pieces do not touch—especially around the rim, which is more fragile.
To prevent staining from dark liquids, we recommend pre-use sealing (medome).
Always dry thoroughly after use to avoid mold around the unglazed foot.
