The little bowl that waits beside the hot pot. A tonsui is Japan's hot-pot side bowl — the thumb lip lets you hold it steady while you ladle broth, vegetables, and dumplings straight from the simmering donabe. This one comes from Ginpo, the Banko-ware maker behind our Hanamishima clay pots, in the same beloved pattern: chrysanthemum florets stamped into the clay and inlaid with white slip in the mishima manner, ringed by brush-slip bands.
Mishima is a centuries-old decorating technique — patterns are stamped into leather-hard clay, flooded with white slip, then scraped back so the design sits inside the surface rather than on top of it. One honest note from the maker: the bowl's clay body differs from the donabe pots in the same series, so its color tone is slightly its own.
