Hokusai Fuji Blue Ramen Bowl

This is a Mino ware bowl.

This bowl is designed with a motif from Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, one of the most famous prints from his Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series.

The dark navy blue exterior of the bowl complements the colors of Mount Fuji and the waves inside, creating a piece that you can’t help but admire. Isn’t it mesmerizing?

We recommend using this bowl to enjoy traditional Japanese dishes like ramen or udon.

Please note that there may be slight variations in appearance and texture depending on the product. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Mino ware originated during the Momoyama period, alongside the rise of "chanoyu" (the Japanese tea ceremony), and is produced mainly in the Toki city area of Gifu Prefecture. It has been particularly beloved by the tea masters of the Momoyama period, when Japan’s "wabi-sabi" culture first flourished. The representative colors of Mino ware include the elegant pale yellow "Kizeto," the lustrous jet black "Setoguro," the milky white "Shino ware" reminiscent of soft skin, and the rare, unique green designs of "Oribe ware." Today, Mino ware accounts for over half of Japan's domestic production of porcelain tableware.
