JUJU Tokusa Mino Rice Bowl

The JUJU Tokusa Mino Rice Bowl, an original creation by Minoru Touki, is a stunning representation of traditional Japanese aesthetics reimagined for contemporary tastes. This exquisite bowl features the classic "tokusa" (rush grass) pattern, characterized by fine, vertical lines that encircle the entire exterior. The design is meticulously hand-painted using gosu (cobalt blue pigment) and sabi (iron oxide), creating a striking contrast against the luminous white porcelain background.

This piece exemplifies the renowned Mino ware style, celebrated for its seamless fusion of functionality and artistic expression. The bowl's gently flared rim is not merely decorative but also serves a practical purpose, enhancing ease of use and allowing for elegant stacking. The tokusa pattern, deeply rooted in Japanese artistic tradition, is executed with a modern sensibility, resulting in a piece that feels both timeless and contemporary.

While primarily conceived as a rice bowl, the versatility of the JUJU Tokusa design allows it to shine in various culinary contexts. It's equally suited for serving traditional Japanese dishes, holding vibrant salads, or presenting elegant desserts. The bowl's ability to effortlessly bridge the gap between classical and modern aesthetics makes it a versatile addition to any table setting, from casual daily meals to more formal occasions. The JUJU Tokusa Mino Rice Bowl stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese ceramics, offering users a tangible connection to centuries of artistic tradition while meeting the demands of modern lifestyles.
