Hand-painted in underglaze cobalt during the late Edo period,

The swirling tako-karakusa pattern, inspired by endlessly growing vines, reflects a wish for prosperity and continuity — a motif deeply loved in merchant-era Japan.

Originally part of daily dining culture, it remains wonderfully versatile today — ideal for tea, small dishes, desserts, or simply to enjoy in the hand.
