54 Sokuu Blue Okuizome Set – Japanese Baby Celebration Tableware

This Sokuu Okuizome Set is distinguished by its bowls featuring the traditional Japanese Inome motif.

Although the Inome motif resembles a heart, it is an ancient Japanese design traditionally associated with protection from misfortune and the welcoming of good fortune. With its auspicious symbolism, it is especially meaningful for okuizome, a Japanese celebration held to wish for a child's healthy growth and a life blessed with food.

The set is also designed to be enjoyed long after the celebration. All pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe, making them practical tableware for everyday family meals as your child grows.

The set includes five traditional vessels, each with its own purpose:

Tsubowan – Upper Left
For cold dishes such as namasu (vinegared vegetables) and shira-ae (vegetables dressed with tofu).

Hirawan – Upper Right
For warm dishes and grilled foods.

Koshidaka – Center
For pickles and small side dishes.

Oyawan – Lower Left
For rice.

Shiruwan – Lower Right
For clear soup or miso soup.

Combining Sokuu's vivid blue with traditional Japanese symbolism, this handcrafted set is designed not only to celebrate an important milestone, but also to become part of the child's everyday life for years to come.
