Yoshiharu Doi Food researcher and consultant, focuses on Japanese home cooking and sustainable food culture I call this bowl “Ramen Bowl for Citizens of the Sun and Moon” because the sun and moon are the foundations of all things—nature, religious beliefs, philosophy. They exist absolutely and beyond our consciousness. We are comforted by the thought that the sun is like a mother wrapping the Earth in a blanket to keep us safe, day after day, year after year. I want to express my gratitude for this. Even without humans, night will always be replaced by day. (The ceramic artist and tea master Rosanjin used the classical Sun and Moon pattern on his large bowls.)
