Stamp Bear Rice Bowl | Hasami Ware - Stamp ZOO Series | Made in Japan

This "Stamp Bear" rice bowl belongs to the Stamp ZOO series, a collaborative Hasami ware creation by designer KENJI Ota and the brand tomofac. The pattern originates from digital artwork meticulously transformed into physical stamps, which artisans apply by hand to the surface of each vessel one by one. Because every pattern is executed manually, the bear's expression, lines, and placement exhibit subtle variations, creating a unique artisanal feel exclusive to each piece. Combining modern graphic design with traditional Hasami pottery craftsmanship, this bowl balances charming character with a natural, practical, and enduring everyday tableware aesthetic.

We love Stamp Bear because it brings together an adorable character motif and genuine handcrafting on a wonderfully everyday vessel. The bear design itself carries a touch of playful charm, but because artisans stamp each one individually, every piece retains slightly different expressions and rhythm. This wonderfully inconsistent detail gives it far more personality and warmth than typical mass-printed patterned tableware.
