Exclusivity Note: Each bowl is individually handcrafted, and the subtle variations in form and finish are part of what make every piece one of a kind.

The green Harukaze bowl, carries a restrained beauty that comes from glaze work and kiln timing, not a simple decoration.

The cherry blossom field gathers along one side of the interior, then fades into a soft celadon-green body under a warm beige rim, with tones that shift subtly as the light change

Handcrafted by Kazuhiro Kojima, each bowl shows small variations in bloom, color, and spacing that set it apart from factory-made dinnerware.

Generous yet balanced, it works for salads, fruit, noodles, or shared side dishes, and it still feels natural on the table every day.

More Information

Naturally Singular, Shaped by Hand
Each green Harukaze Cherry Blossoms Salad Bowl is individually shaped and glazed at Nunobiki Kiln, so every piece carries its own subtle identity.
Variations in tone, glaze flow, and surface balance are a natural result of the handmade process and cannot be fully repeated. This gives each bowl a quiet sense of exclusivity and makes it feel personal from the moment it is held.
A Fresh Green Expression of Nanasai Tenmoku
The defining feature of this version is its green Nanasai Tenmoku (七彩天目) glaze, a layered finish known for depth, translucency, and shifting visual nuance.
The color recalls the freshness of spring growth and gives the bowl a calm, luminous presence.
Combined with the wide, open salad bowl form, the glaze creates a refined surface that feels both artistic and practical for the table.
Monozukuri Spirit in a Handmade Salad Bowl
Rather than drawing from a formal vessel tradition, the Harukaze Cherry Blossoms Salad Bowl expresses the Japanese spirit of monozukuri (ものづくり), the pursuit of thoughtful making with care, discipline, and respect for materials.
At Nunobiki Kiln, this approach can be felt in the way the bowl is shaped, glazed, and finished with attention to both beauty and daily use.
The result is a piece that brings Japanese craftsmanship into modern dining in a natural and meaningful way.

Care Guide

About your Harukaze Salad Bowl

Maintenance

No Harsh Appliances: Avoid the oven, microwave, and dishwasher to protect the handmade finish and delicate decoration.
Gentle Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm water, mild, non-abrasive detergent, and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that may dull the surface.
Preservation: Dry with a soft cloth after washing, and store carefully to protect the rim and decoration from accidental knocks.

The Artist

Kazuhiro Kojima

Location: Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture
Technique: Nanasai Tenmoku
Tradition: Kyoto ware / Shigaraki ware

Born in 1972, Kazuhiro Kojima is a Japanese ceramic artist and son of Taro Kojima, founder of Nunobiki Kiln. Growing up surrounded by clay, fire, and his father's restless experimentation, the kiln was never a distant place. It was home.

After completing his studies at art college, he returned to Nunobiki and trained alongside his father, gradually developing a visual language distinctly his own. His signature subject is the owl, rendered using the Nanasai Tenmoku technique across a range of scales, from monumental ceramic statues to small, intimate accessories.

His pieces have been placed in hospitals, public institutions, and streetscapes, chosen for the sense of calm and quiet warmth they carry.
