In Japanese culture, the dragon is a symbol of strength, courage, and magic — an auspicious motif for a bowl meant to hold a meal that restores you. The red square chop mark on the base reads M330, but the manufacturer has not been identified. These are generously sized, heavy ceramic bowls — a reassurance of quality.
