I gave it to my father and mother. They said the pattern is so beautiful it feels too good to use. Now they use it every day.

A refined design and just the right size — my parents were pleased.

Our rice bowl at home broke, so I stretched my budget and bought this. What a magnificent vessel it is. The black tenmoku ground is like the cosmos, and the obsidian-like glitter mixed into the blue lines is beautiful — I cannot sum it up in a word. It is like a cosmos of quiet dignity, and yet within the glitter of the galaxy there is a strangely warm light, something like the temperature of sunlight through spring leaves. (That is only my own impression.) I am glad I bought it. Next I shall consider buying Aoki-Myojo in another form.

Thank you, as always, for a lovely vessel. It was very well received.

I chose it as the gift for my parents-in-law's golden wedding anniversary. I saw the real thing and it looked very easy to use. The colouring and the design were good too. It was a celebration with children and grandchildren all together, and everyone there liked it. The shop looked after me carefully, for which I am also grateful.
