”RICE BOWL” is a vessel for eating rice. Rice cultivation, which produces rice, the staple food of the Japanese people, has nurtured a culture and tradition of living with nature. It meant living with birds, animals, plants, and flowers in the satoyama, which is centered on rice paddies. Folktales that remain in various parts of Japan convey this way of life of the Japanese people and their attitude toward nature to the present day. In “Omusubi kororin” and “Sarukani kassen”, “Omusubi = rice” plays an important role. The message of “rice is important” is conveyed in these stories. I believe that this folktale has been carried over to the modern world of manga and anime. A set of chopsticks and a chopstick rest with a motif of rice and “RICE BOWL”.
