Blue Cat's Back Rice Bowl

This charming Mino ware rice bowl features the silhouette of a cat sitting with its back turned—simple, serene, and undeniably adorable. The classic white and blue color scheme adds a traditional Japanese touch to the design.

While it may be smaller than a standard rice bowl, it’s perfect for serving small portions, side dishes, or even as a decorative piece. It also makes a thoughtful gift for cat lovers or fans of Japanese ceramics.

Please note. As each item is handmade, slight variations in appearance and texture may occur.

Mino ware has been crafted since the Momoyama period, flourishing with the rise of the Japanese tea ceremony. Produced mainly in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, it became beloved for embodying the aesthetic of wabi-sabi. Signature Mino styles include the soft yellow of Kizeto, the lustrous black of Setoguro, the milky white texture of Shino ware, and the unique green designs of Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of Japan’s porcelain tableware production.
