Created using the shioyaki (salt-firing) technique, the surface features a natural, semi-matte finish with subtle textural variations that make each piece unique.

Reflecting the mingei philosophy of functional beauty, this piece embodies the artistry for which Mashiko ceramics are renowned. To care for the bowl, gently clean with a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners, and store in a dry place to preserve its intricate finish.
