This elegant set of five Japanese lacquerware bowls showcases the timeless craftsmanship of traditional urushi (lacquer) artistry. Each bowl is finished in a deep, lustrous black lacquer, accentuated with a delicate floral motif hand-painted in gold and muted earth tones. The interior rim is lined in a subtle red, providing a refined contrast to the glossy black surface.
The bowls are accompanied by their original wooden storage box, inscribed with Japanese calligraphy that reads 「汁椀」(shiruwan), meaning “soup bowls.” The wooden box not only serves as protective storage but also highlights the authenticity and care taken in preserving traditional Japanese tableware.
Perfect for serving miso soup, rice, or other delicacies, this set embodies a balance of elegance and simplicity that is central to Japanese aesthetics.
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.
