This handcrafted soup bowl is made from Japanese zelkova wood, known for its moderate hardness and beautiful grain, qualities that are deeply ingrained in Japanese life.

The bowl’s shape symbolizes a bird's nest with eggs inside, representing the prosperity of future generations.

It comes with a lid to keep the soup warm for an extended time and to enhance its aesthetic presentation.

All GATOMIKIO products are crafted using a woodturning technique called kijibiki, where logs are carefully carved into products while rotating on a lathe.

GATOMIKIO’s modern and delicate designs stand out from traditional Japanese lacquerware, developed by a team of internationally active product designers.

By embracing the strengths of traditional crafts like woodworking and lacquer, GATOMIKIO products combine functional beauty with designs that seamlessly integrate into daily life.
