'Shichita' bowls from the Someneko series | Yamakatsu Minotoen

The adorable cats from the Shichita series are combined here with traditional Japanese patterns. The small bowls are suitable for desserts, fruit, small side dishes, or snacks.

The growing Shichita series is a tribute to the Japanese bobwhite cat Shichita, which—according to legend—got lost in a Minoyaki pottery studio on July 7. The name Shichita is a pun and another reading of Tanabata 七夕, the Japanese star festival celebrated every year on July 7.
