Counted as one of the Six Ancient Kilns in Japan, it is a Bizen ware with a 1000-year history.
Created without glazing, utilizing local potter's clay for soil making and 10 tons of Japanese red pine's split wood for a 10-days-long burning in a kiln after molding with potter's wheel.
It is natural and traditional pottery created with precious materials and a long time.
We were very satisfied with the bowl we received. It was beautiful.
We also appreciated the service we received after our previous order was broken on arrival. We understand this was a problem with the shipping process, but thank Shokunin for the extra effort it cost you to re-send the new bowl to us.
We have ordered from you many times before, and will continue to do so. Thank you again.

It has enough size to be used as a small plate to serve food, and it could dish up simple main dishes as well. Since it is moderately deep, while it could be used for juicy side dishes, it could be utilized as a vessel for small donburi. Recommended to restaurants as well.
