Limited-Time Sale: Pokemon Bowls Featuring Chinese Zodiac Designs

Spend Dinner with Handcrafted Pokemon Bowls

Featuring Pikachu, Ekans, and Dragonite

Yamada Heiando, a renowned Japanese lacquerware brand, has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to craft a unique set of bowls inspired by the Chinese Zodiac. These bowls feature beloved Pokémon characters—Pikachu representing the rat, Ekans embodying the snake, and Dragonite symbolizing the dragon—all crafted using traditional lacquerware techniques.

These Pokémon are described by Yamada Heiando as "gentle guardians watching over you and your children as you share meals together." The company's focus on babies and children is evident in their mission statement: "We hope this product will become a vessel that allows you to watch and rejoice together in your child’s happy daily growth."

Each bowl comes with a special meaning tied to a child's development. Pikachu stands for kindness, Ekans for growth, and Dragonite for openness, adding a deeper layer of significance to these beautifully crafted items.

The initial release on January 17, 2025, saw these exquisite bowls sell out within hours, showcasing their immense popularity. A second chance to purchase them will be available starting January 31, 2025, with a limit of two items per customer.

Priced at 16,500 JPY, which is approximately $105 USD, these bowls are also available for international shipping, though additional charges may apply depending on packaging size, peak season surcharges, and aviation fuel prices.

Yamada Heiando has hinted at future releases of other Pokémon-themed zodiac bowls, so mark your calendars for January 31st to secure your set of these charming Pokémon bowls!
