Textured Kakubachi (set of 2)

Textured Kakubachi (set of 2)  6,600 yen


Kakubachi is a Japanese word meaning square bowls. These shapes, walled square bowl derived from the bento boxes but without a lid. It’s very common to see these kind of shapes in Japan and if you are a Japanese, you can imagine countless ways to use these vessels. I made these in 2 size so the smaller one fits in the large one and we call these “Ireko” in Japanese. By making the bowls Ireko, we can store them easily and won’t take up space.

The bowls are hand builded and carefully shaped into squares. Hand painted in red iron oxide to give the overall warm tone to the bowls.

(Large bowl vs small bowl. 大きい方と小さい方。)

角鉢に魅力をいつも感じます。とても日本的な形ですし、こう言った形がテーブルに一つでも有ると、目を引くし楽しい気持ちになります。今回はあえて赤土を使い、民芸調に仕上げてみました。表面に描かれた模様あえて、和柄ではなく、ちょっと外国の香りがするのがこの角鉢のポイントです。和の様でちょっとエキゾチックなのです。こちらの器は入れ子になっているのもポイント、故、2個セットでの販売です。
