Rice bowls are a familiar presence in daily life scenes in Japan, as the Japanese have traditionally made rice their staple food. Bowls for soup and other purposes are also cherished in Japan as tableware used daily.

In Japan, bowls, referred to as "wan" or "hachi," have been used as tableware for serving rice and soup dishes. Bowls come in a variety of materials, including clay, metal, wood, and stone. Traditionally, there are rice bowls for serving rice, soup bowls for serving soup, stew bowls for stews, and small, medium, and large bowls for side dishes to be eaten with rice, depending on the scene. However, in modern times, bowls with various standards, designs, and features have been created in response to changes in food culture.
