Exclusivity Note: Each Harukaze bowl is handcrafted individually, and the subtle variations in form and finish are a natural result of the handmade process.

Think of Harukaze as functional tableware with the sensibility of a small work of art.

The cherry blossoms are not placed like decoration, they emerge through the way glaze settles and opens in the kiln, forming a soft cluster that fades into pale pink.

Master potter Kazuhiro Kojima’s hand shows in the fine variation from bowl to bowl, subtle but real, the kind you only get from true craft.

With an easy, spacious curve and a stable feel, it serves salads, fruit, noodles, or side dishes, and keeps its quiet elegance in everyday use.

More Information

Handmade with Its Own Gentle Character
Each pink Harukaze Cherry Blossoms Salad Bowl is made by hand at Nunobiki Kiln in small batches, allowing every bowl to develop its own distinct expression.
Slight differences in color depth, glaze movement, and final finish are part of what makes the piece feel alive and unrepeated.
This individuality gives the bowl a softer, more personal presence than anything made through mass production.
The Freshness of Spring in Glaze
The signature element of this version is its pink Nanasai Tenmoku (七彩天目) glaze, a decorative technique admired for its layered color and luminous complexity.
Its soft pink tones echo the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms, creating a surface that feels elegant, airy, and richly detailed. Paired with the generous salad bowl form, the glaze gives the piece a graceful visual identity suited to both everyday use and more special table settings.
Monozukuri Craft for Everyday Beauty
The cultural value of this bowl lies in the Japanese idea of monozukuri (ものづくり), where making is approached with sincerity, skill, and deep attention to detail.
This philosophy is reflected in the Harukaze bowl’s careful balance of function and beauty, allowing it to serve modern dining while still carrying the depth of handcrafted work.

Care Guide

About your Harukaze Pink Salad Bowl
Harukaze may be an artisanal piece of pottery, but it belongs in everyday meals, not behind glass.
A light, careful touch keeps its pink sakura motif fresh and graceful.

Maintenance

No Harsh Appliances: Keep it out of the oven, microwave, and dishwasher, to protect the handmade finish and delicate decoration.
Gentle Cleaning: Clean by hand with lukewarm water, mild non-abrasive soap, and a soft sponge or cloth. Skip abrasive scrubbers and strong detergents.
Preservation: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, then store where it will not bump against other pieces, especially along the rim, to help preserve the decoration over time.

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.

Japanese Bowl Q&A

Is the Harukaze Pink bowl suitable for microwaves or dishwashers?

It is fine to use in the microwave.
The dishwasher, however, is best avoided. Harukaze Pink is made for daily use, but as a handmade ceramic bowl with a refined glaze, it is better cared for by hand.

Gentle washing will help preserve its surface and keep it looking

Is Harukaze Pink practical enough for daily meals?

Yes. Harukaze Pink is meant to be enjoyed regularly, not stored away for special occasions only.
Its balanced form makes it easy to use throughout the week, while the handmade finish brings a softer, more thoughtful character to everyday dining.

What foods can I serve in Harukaze Pink besides salad?

This bowl is useful for much more than greens. It also suits fruit, rice dishes, pasta, noodles, donburi, or small shared sides. Its shape is roomy without feeling heavy, so it adapts easily to many kinds of meals.

Could Harukaze Pink work as a ramen bowl or poke bowl?

Yes, it can. It was not created specifically for ramen, but its size and versatility make it a very good option for that kind of use. It also works nicely for poke, rice bowls, noodle dishes, and other everyday meals that benefit from a more generous shape.

Why does the Harukaze Pink bowl feel so distinctive?

Its appeal comes from more than decoration alone. The soft pink body, warm rim, and cherry blossom motif create a gentle seasonal atmosphere, while small differences in glaze, tone, and floral detail reflect the hand of Kazuhiro Kojima and make every bowl feel one of a kind.

Is Harukaze Pink a good bowl to give as a gift?

Yes, it makes a thoughtful gift. It is both useful and expressive, which gives it a stronger presence than ordinary tableware.
The handmade quality and delicate blossom design make it especially suitable for someone who appreciates Japanese craftsmanship and everyday beauty.

Do you ship Harukaze Pink to the US and Europe with insurance?

Yes. We send orders from Japan to both the US and Europe, and shipping includes tracking and insurance.
This offers extra peace of mind when ordering handcrafted pottery internationally and helps protect the bowl while it is in transit.
