The "Mugiwarade" rice bowl features the barley straw-inspired, traditional Japanese Mugiwarade-striped pattern, which is alternated between the thick and thin stripes in different colors. It is made of red earthenware, which has the coarse texture and light pink marks, and is covered with a layer of yellow powder-clay before transparent glazing, called the Japanese "kohiki" technique. It results in a rustic and heart-warming feeling. It will be entertaining to see these "exquisite" lines hand-painted by an artisan and "sticky-looking" linear or dotted pools of a semi-transparent glaze. Available in two colors: Blue and Orange. Enjoy eating plain rice or rice cooked in stock with various ingredients with this charming Japanese rice bowl!
