Ara Minoyaki Rice Bowl Masudaya Made from cherished paulownia woodFrom its variable colors to its cracked glaze, the Ara Minoyaki Rice Bowl is the very picture of the wabi sabi philosophy an age old belief that encourages one to embrace transience and recognize the beauty in imperfections. Here, that idea manifests in the highly organic aesthetic of artist Takumi Kudo's tableware, which draws the eye not through flash or opulence but through small details that can never be replicated, even by the original craftsman.
