GATOMIKIO TSUMUGI FUJI Yamanaka Lacquerware Miso Soup Bowl
The soup bowl is crafted from zelkova wood, known for its moderate hardness and beautiful grain, qualities that are deeply rooted in Japanese life.
Its elegant shape is inspired by Mount Fuji, a symbol of good fortune. The bowl is ideal for serving a moderate portion of miso soup.
All GATOMIKIO products are made using the woodturning technique called kijibiki, where logs are carefully carved into products while being rotated on a lathe.
GATOMIKIO's modern and delicate designs are a unique departure from traditional Japanese lacquerware. They are created by a team of internationally active product designers.
By incorporating traditional craftsmanship such as woodworking and lacquer techniques, GATOMIKIO achieves a functional beauty that seamlessly fits into everyday life.

ABOUT GATO MIKIO
GATO MIKIO was founded in 1908 as Gado Woodworks in Yamanaka Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture, the town of the potter's wheel.
They inherited the philosophy of the woodworkers who used the wheel to carve wood to make bowls, trays, and other woodwork, and have always valued the beautiful grain of the wood and the perfection of the carefully ground wood.
And they have made many lacquer ware products with a focus on the perfection of the wood.
Precision of their woodwork
The reason why their products attract people is because they combine the traditional techniques of Yamanaka lacquerware with a modern sensibility in their designs.
The beauty of their lacquerware will continue to grow with time, and will not fade over decades.
