Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This rice bowl is handmade by Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmen with a wipe lacquer finish that brings out the beautiful grain of cherry wood. Perfect size as a rice bowl for serving an average portion of rice.
It is made by craftsmen in a thin and beautiful form, and is light and easy to hold. In addition, wooden bowls are excellent at retaining heat because the heat transfer is gentle, so the outside is not hot even when hot rice is served in them.
The lacquer is applied in a "Fuki-Urushi" (wiped lacquer) finish, in which the lacquer is applied and wiped repeatedly to make the best use of the grain of the wood. It is glossy and transparent, giving a soft and elegant impression. Its traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use or when entertaining guests.

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.

Rice Bowls
Rice bowls are indispensable tableware for the Japanese dining table. Since they are used so often for Japanese food, many people are particular about them. It is important to choose one that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also the right size for your hand and easy to hold.
We recommend that you get a dedicated rice bowl for each member of your family. It's also a good idea to have a few available for different occasions, in varying colors and patterns that match the season and table setting.
