Set of eight (8) rice or soup bowls in white, each with a calligraphic brush stroke of an open 'Enso' in a classic blue on white.
The image of the brush-drawn segment of the Enso circle, known most commonly as the “enso” of Japanese Buddhism, has long been a symbol of strength, elegance, and the simultaneous being and nonbeing (mu) of the universe. A closed enso is associated with the idea of perfection while an open enso (as in this set) represents movement, fluidity, and attainment in the corporeal world.
From Japan
Serve rice, soup, warm or cold dessert, salad, hors d'oeuvre or sauces in these bowls
