This medium bowl is decorated with a stylized tokusa, or horsetail, pattern arranged in a wave formation around the exterior. A classic motif long beloved in Japan, tokusa symbolizes growth and prosperity, reflecting the plant's steady upward growth. The glossy blue pigment creates a striking contrast with the red hues of the main motif and the ring around the foot of the bowl.

With its generous depth and gently flared, bell-shaped form, this bowl is especially well suited to noodle dishes such as udon or soba, leaving room for both broth and toppings. It also works well for simmered dishes and Japanese salads, bringing a touch of traditional pattern to the everyday table.
