Colored in traditional blue and white, these porcelain rice bowls have a detailed image of a dragon engraved in their interiors. In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes nobility, prosperity, luck, and power. With a raised hand above its own head, the dragon is seen clutching a pearl, which is said to give dragons power over rain, the sea, lakes, and rivers. This pearl is also a symbol of power, wisdom, spiritual energy, immortality, and prosperity. Beside the dragon is a beautiful image of crashing waves, which are meant to show the power of the dragon as well as the strength and volatility of nature. Another meaningful symbol that you can find on these Japanese rice bowls is the perfectly symmetrical Mount Fuji, which is considered sacred and a symbol of national identity to the Japanese people. Topped off with a dark brown rim, these little bowls are packed with symbolism and meaning.
