The pattern's straight, reed-like lines take their name from tokusa, or horsetail rush, a plant whose straight, ribbed stems have been translated into ceramic and textile pattern since ancient Japan, associated with vigour, honesty, and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rice bowl form (11.5cm diameter, 7cm deep) is sized for a generous serving but intimate enough to hold comfortably with both hands. In a UK kitchen: an everyday breakfast bowl for porridge or yoghurt, a soup bowl for a quick lunch, a small rice or noodle dish in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who finds most commercially produced ceramics visually flat, this is the alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Arita, Saga Prefecture.
