Yamada Heiando, a renowned lacquerware brand, has released a limited-edition collection of three exquisite Pokémon bowls inspired by the Chinese Zodiac. Learn more about these unique and beautiful pieces!
Spend Dinner with Handcrafted Pokémon Bowls
Featuring Pikachu, Ekans, and Dragonite
Yamada Heiando, in collaboration with The Pokémon Company, has crafted these stunning bowls using traditional techniques. Each bowl features a Pokémon representing a Chinese Zodiac animal: Pikachu (Rat), Ekans (Snake), and Dragonite (Dragon).
These aren't just bowls; they're described by the company as "gentle guardians watching over you and your children during dinner." Yamada Heiando emphasizes their focus on creating products for babies and children, hoping these bowls will become cherished keepsakes, "a vessel that allows you to watch and rejoice together in your child’s happy daily growth."
Each Pokémon also embodies a specific aspect of a child's development: Pikachu represents kindness, Ekans symbolizes growth, and Dragonite signifies openness.
Initially released on January 17, 2025, these bowls sold out incredibly quickly. Don't worry if you missed out; another sales period begins January 31st! Please note a purchase limit of two items per person.
A single set costs 16,500 JPY (approximately $105 USD). International shipping is available, with additional charges depending on packaging size, peak season surcharges, and aviation fuel prices.
Yamada Heiando has hinted at future releases, teasing "other Pokémon design zodiac bowls" to come. Mark your calendars for January 31st!
