Description

This Echizen lacquerware soup bowl captivates with its rich lacquer surface, beautifully showcasing a gourd design. Golden gourds, intertwined with graceful leaves and vines, are brought to life through the traditional maki-e technique, hand-painted lacquer designs adorned with shimmering gold leaf.

A final coating of transparent lacquer over the maki-e then receives a meticulous polish to amplify the beautiful glossiness and color of the soup bowl. Enjoy the deepening luster of the natural lacquer over time, as you nurture this piece in your hands.

The gourd, a deeply respected motif in Japanese culture symbolizing good health, and abundance, not only enhances the visual allure of this piece but also enriches it with profound cultural significance.

This bowl is ideally suited for a variety of soup dishes, from hearty daily servings of miso soup to the celebratory zouni soup enjoyed during New Year festivities. 

For those extra special occasions at home, elevate your table setting by pairing this soup bowl with the matching Jubako bento box. This harmonious pairing will enhance your gatherings with the artistry of Echizen lacquerware.

Echizen lacquerware, crafted in Sabae City of Fukui Prefecture, is celebrated for its refined luster and extensive heritage, dating back over 1,500 years. Recognized as a traditional craft in 1975, each piece is meticulously fashioned by skilled artisans who specialize in different phases of its production, ensuring unmatched quality and enduring allure.

YAMAKYU Japanware Co., established in 1930, continues to uphold the traditions of Echizen lacquerware while embracing modern needs and global aesthetics. The company is dedicated to revitalizing local culture and supporting young craftspeople, expanding its reach through workshops and pop-up events in Europe and the USA.
