Kyo-yaki, Kiyomizu-yaki, 6.5-inch Bowl, Kaho-gama, Kozanji, Bkc836

Kyo-yaki (Kiyomizu ware) is one of Kyoto's most representative traditional crafts. Its origins are said to date back to the many kilns around Gojozaka, the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where many potters, including those of Kiyomizu Rokubei and Takahashi Michihachi, were based. This simple blue-and-white porcelain bowl depicts the National Treasure "Choju Jinbutsu Giga" (Cartoon Painting of Birds and Animals). Its shape makes it easy to use as a bowl for sweets or stews. It also makes a great gift. As this piece is handmade, slight variations in size, color, and pattern may occur. Comes in a presentation box. Dimensions: Approx. 20cm diameter x 5.5cm height. Material: Ceramic. Country of Origin: Japan
