Black Earthen Lidded Bowl 8.5"

These bowls are originally designed as Ohitsu (お櫃), which is Japanese traditional kitchenware to keep rice warm and steamy. Before the advent of electric techniques, rice cookers lacked functions to maintain rice freshness. Therefore, people used Ohitsu to prevent rice from cooling and drying out.

These bowls are crafted using a technique called Banko-Yaki (萬古焼), known for its heat durability.
