Whale Mino Rice Bowl

The Whale Mino Rice Bowl, an original creation by Minoru Touki, is a charming and whimsical take on traditional Japanese ceramics. Each bowl features a striking black and white design of a stylized whale, complete with playful waves and water droplets. The bold, graphic pattern wraps around the entire bowl, creating a dynamic and eye-catching effect that stands out in any table setting.

This design beautifully blends traditional Mino ware craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression. Mino ware, a cornerstone of Japanese ceramics, is known for its versatility and quality. The whale motif, while unconventional, speaks to Japan's deep cultural connection to the sea. The bowls are crafted using advanced techniques, including a water-repellent coating that enhances their practicality. The three-dimensional wave pattern adds a tactile element to the design, inviting touch and interaction.

While designed as rice bowls, these versatile pieces can serve a variety of purposes. They're perfect for serving rice, of course, but equally suitable for soups, noodles, or even as decorative items. The water-repellent coating makes them practical for everyday use, while their unique design makes them conversation starters at dinner parties. Whether used in a modern kitchen or as part of a more traditional Japanese meal, these Whale Mino Rice Bowls bring a touch of whimsy and craftsmanship to the table, making every meal a delightful experience.
