Asanoha (Hemp Leaf) Design
The asanoha pattern is a traditional Japanese design, characterised by its geometric, interlocking hemp leaf motif. It symbolizes growth, resilience and protection as hemp is a strong, fast-growing plant.

Made in Gifu Prefecture, the bowls are crafted from Minoyaki (Mino ware) earthenware, a style with a history spanning 1,300 years. Mino ware is known for its durability and versatility.
