MINO WARE KIKYO BELLFLOWER 16CM DONBURI BOWL WITH GIFT BOX

This 16cm Mino ware bowl features a delicate kikyo (bellflower) pattern, inspired by the family crest of Akechi Mitsuhide, a samurai warlord of the Sengoku period.
The 5-sun (approximately 16cm) size is perfect for everyday use—not too big, not too small.
It is ideal for serving donburi, soba, udon, or other dishes and also makes a wonderful gift.

The kikyo flower, beloved in Japan since ancient times and mentioned in the Manyoshu (Japan’s oldest poetry collection), symbolizes eternal love, elegance, and purity (meanings vary by color).
Crafted in a region connected to Akechi Mitsuhide, this bowl carries a quiet sense of history.
