Ink-painted Shrimp Kutani Kobachi Bowl Set

Introducing the exquisite Kutani Ware Small Bowls Set - Suibokuga Shrimp Design, a testament to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. These bowls feature a delicate blue and white design, showcasing shrimp artfully depicted in a classic brushstroke style. The Suibokuga, or ink wash painting style, is a significant element of traditional Japanese art. Originating from Chinese ink wash painting, Suibokuga was adopted by Japanese artists during the Muromachi period. This style emphasizes the use of simple, yet expressive brushstrokes and a monochromatic palette to convey depth and emotion.

Kutani Ware, with a history spanning over 360 years since its inception, is recognized as a traditional craft by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. First introduced to the world at the Paris Expo, Kutani Ware has since garnered international acclaim, being featured in prestigious museums such as the British Museum and the Louvre.

These versatile small bowls are perfect for serving a variety of dishes, from appetizers and side salads to desserts and snacks. Their refined design makes them an excellent addition to both everyday meals and special occasions, allowing you to bring a touch of Japanese heritage and sophistication to your table.
