Tenmoku Black Japanese Rice Bowl – Made in Japan | 天目

The Tenmoku Black Japanese Rice Bowl is a super quality, deeply elegant Japanese porcelain bowl — finished in a rich shiny black speckled glaze with beautiful brown feathered edging at the rim. Solid, robust, and made in Japan, it brings the quiet authority of traditional Japanese ceramics to everyday dining, whether at home or in a restaurant.

Generously sized and wonderfully versatile — ideal for rice, noodles, soups, and all kinds of Japanese and western meals alike. Dishwasher and microwave safe for everyday practicality.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

天目 — Tenmoku — is one of the most celebrated glaze traditions in Japanese ceramics, originating from the tea bowls brought back from China's Tianmu Mountain by Japanese monks in the 12th century. The characteristic black glaze with its speckled, oil-spot, or feathered markings was prized by Japanese tea masters for its depth and unpredictability — no two bowls ever exactly alike. To hold a Tenmoku bowl is to hold a piece of ceramic history.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a rice bowl. You are learning something meaningful — and you are sending a little piece of that with it.
