The artist has a workshop in Shonan. This item was purchased at a nearby gallery's annual exhibition. The user was drawn to its ease of use and beautiful form, and the number of pieces they owned increased each year. These two pieces were kept unused on a shelf. They are vintage but in beautiful condition. They fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, and the shape of the rim is very comfortable. I'm sure you'll love them. Please consider purchasing them. # Pair of Toshiki Fushimi Small Soup Bowls
