Gagyu Kiln Pair of Rice Bowls - Egret Design
A meoto pair of rice bowls with egrets painted over milky-white hakeme (brush-stroke) marks.
Egrets with a Noble BearingBehind the egrets, painted with a noble bearing, lie soft-toned hakeme marks that give the scene a powerful sense of presence. This remarkable depth of perspective shows why it is a traditional technique selected as intangible cultural heritage of Nagasaki Prefecture.
A Finer Moment at the Table
Imagine the many scenes drawn from the tip of the craftsman’s brush, and savour a meal raised to something special.
A Gift for a Long Life
With a form you will never tire of and a refined composition, these bowls grace the table with quiet elegance — a popular choice as a gift to celebrate longevity.
What Is a Meoto Pair?
A meoto pair is a set of two vessels intended to be used together by two people, most often a couple. In Japan it is a long-standing form of gift for a wedding, an anniversary, or a new home — the pair itself carries the wish.
Why a Paulownia Box
Paulownia wood is light, resists moisture and insects, and moves with changes in humidity — which is why it has been used in Japan for centuries to store what is valuable. A piece delivered in a paulownia box arrives ready to give, and the box itself is part of the gift.
