14 Omuro Zakura Hand-Thrown Serving Bowl

Inspired by the famous Omuro cherry blossoms of Ninna-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kyoto, this delicate pale-pink piece evokes the joyful feeling of seeing cherry trees in full bloom.

Individually thrown on the potter’s wheel, this generously sized bowl has a dynamic handcrafted form and is designed to bring a sense of celebration to the table. Its versatile shape makes it ideal for pasta, salads, simmered dishes, shared meals, and many other styles of cuisine.

In Japanese, the expression “utsuwa ga ookii,” literally “to have a large vessel,” is used to describe a generous and broad-minded person. This association gives a large bowl an especially auspicious meaning, making it a thoughtful gift for weddings and other celebrations.

Combining meaningful symbolism with traditional craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind NINSHU bowl brings both beauty and a special sense of occasion to the table.
