This small bowl, known as a mamebachi, is a pretty little thing—small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Recommended for garnishes, spices, and condiments like sauces, pickles, jams, butter, tempura salt, sashimi soy sauce, and even small snacks.

Macaw
We have given the traditional, auspicious kachomon flower-and-bird pattern a twist by perching a brightly-colored macaw on the branch of a plum tree.

Pug
The deer and maple shika-momiji motif has long been a harbinger of autumn across many Japanese crafts. The deer, often portrayed mid-leap, is replaced with a playful, prancing pug.

Exotic Shorthair
The piercing gaze of an exotic shorthair replaces the tiger as a symbol of good luck inside this tree and flower motif. Rest assured that this cat will keep an eye on your home.

Axolotl
The traditional gyomo-mon pattern of fish and seaweed is replaced with axolotls, or Mexican salamanders, whose popularity soared in 1980s’ Japan. Do not put overglaze products in the dishwasher.

Pygmy Hedgehog
The traditional motif of a squirrel on a grapevine symbolizes fertility and longevity and has long been considered a good luck charm in Japan. Here, we’ve taken the squirrel, once a symbol of fertility due to its resemblance to the rat, and swapped it for a cute four-toed hedgehog.
