This ladle is handmade by Yamanaka Lacquerware craftsmen. Made by hollowing out a piece of wood, it has a beautiful form with no joints and is firm and comfortable to hold.
It comes with a leather strap for convenient storage in the kitchen.
It is finished with the "Akebono" lacquer technique, in which black lacquer is applied over a coat of vermilion lacquer. The name Akebono (dawn) comes from the fact that the underlying vermilion lacquer can be seen in places, resembling the way the sun begins to rise from the eastern sky and the sky begins to turn vermilion.
It can be used for cooking and serving various soups, such as miso soup and stew. Especially when serving nabe dishes, the beautiful design makes it suitable to be placed on the table.

Crafts
Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.
With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
