Shirasagi Bowl
Crafted for everyday use, this bowl's simple yet elegant grain pattern with Yamanaka lacquerware effortlessly complements any dining table, ensuring long-lasting durability. The standard-sized bowl in Japan, traditionally known for serving miso soup in households, can be versatile with other dishes like salads, side dishes, and soups. Crafted from Keyaki wood, renowned for its historic role in the construction of shrines and temples due to its remarkable resilience, it undergoes a process called vertical wood cutting. This not only accentuates the wood's natural grain but also significantly boosts its durability. The Yamanaka lacquer technique elevates the bowl's beauty through a process of applying thin layers of lacquer, delicately wiping, and repeating. This method unveils the wood's intricate texture and grain, while also reinforcing it for greater heat resistance.
