Each spring, Japan celebrates the annual blooming of its beautiful, delicately fragrant Sakura (cherry blossom) trees. Because the blossoming period only lasts anywhere from mere days to about 2 weeks, Japan holds an annual Hanami festival in their honor. According to this centuries-old tradition, people party beneath the Sakura trees during the extremely short blooming period and reflect on the brevity of life.

The iconic cherry blossom is a popular theme in traditional design, including this Japanese serving bowl. This thick-walled, sturdy bowl is completely coated with a smooth, shiny black mottled glaze. The interior features a simple rough-textured white line drawing of a single Sakura, with lines representing sunlight radiating towards the blossom.

Microwave and dishwasher safe, these Japanese bowls are made of sturdy, long-lasting ceramicware. With a generous 36-fluid ounce capacity, they are the perfect size for hearty dishes like mashed potatoes, stews, curries, baked chicken, and more.

This individual bowl is part of the Sunlit Sakura Collection, and coordinates with the matching set of 8 Inch Sunlit Sakura Japanese Ceramic Bowls for Four. Made in Japan.
