Large circles of gold and silver represent the sun and moon, giving the bowl its name. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden base is turned to a fine thickness, then covered with Japanese paper adhered using lacquer in the \u003cem\u003eikkanbari\u003c\/em\u003e technique. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMultiple coats of lacquer are applied, with each coat added after the previous one has dried, creating a remarkably light yet durable construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold and silver leaf from Kanazawa form the circular motifs across the lid and body. Gold represents the sun and yang, while silver represents the moon and yin. Their differing reflections bring subtle changes to the design with the light.　\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSoup bowls were traditionally decorated with motifs associated with the seasons, but Rosanjin is said to have chosen the sun and moon so that this bowl could be used regardless of the season and cherished for years to come. This exceptional work reflects Rosanjin’s commitment to creating an entirely new form of beauty while building on Japan’s longstanding artistic traditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eToday, fifth-generation Tsuji Sekisai continues to reproduce this historic work using techniques passed down through the Tsuji family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsuji Sekisai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48459695718589,"sku":"TSUJI-01","price":3844.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/S_1-1-260910_TSUJI-01_scene_MTU_0001-2.jpg?v=1791249677","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/tsuji-sekisai-ikkanbari-sun-and-moon-yamanaka-lacquerware-soup-bowl-with-lid","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
