This beautiful set of traditional Japanese lacquerware bowls, 本製うるし塗 お好み椀 (Honsei Urushi-nuri Okonomi Wan), exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of classic Japanese tableware. Each of the five bowls in the set is meticulously crafted from wood and finished with genuine urushi lacquer, a time-honored technique known for its deep, glossy sheen and lasting durability.
The bowls are a rich, jet-black color, and each lid is delicately adorned with a golden brushstroke pattern, an understated yet striking design that reflects the Japanese appreciation for nature and subtle beauty. The form of the bowls is traditional, with gently rounded sides and a pedestal base, making them ideal for serving miso soup, clear broth, or other small dishes commonly found in Japanese cuisine.
One of the unique features of this set is its stackability. When not in use, the bowls can be nested together and stored vertically, creating a compact tower that fits neatly into the wooden Box (共箱ともばこ).The case itself with bold calligraphy on the front reading emphasizing both quality and tradition.
Care Instructions:
Hand wash gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not use in microwave ovens, dishwashers, or dryers to prevent deformation, cracking, or fading of the lacquer finish.
This set is a perfect blend of beauty, tradition, and practicality—bringing authentic Japanese elegance to any dining setting.
