Yamanaka Lacquerware Shirasagi Woodwork Soup Bowl, Shirasagi Bowl, Medium, Approx. 11cm, sibo, Sakura, Natural x Green, Made in Japan

Located deep in the mountains of Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture, Shirasagi Woodworks has been crafting everyday tableware, including circular wooden bowls, trays, and round trays, with a focus on the traditional craft of Yamanaka lacquerware. Craftsmen with highly skilled lathe skills are on staff, and they are one of the few companies responsible for purchasing and processing logs, accounting for 50% of the raw materials used in Yamanaka lacquerware, which is made from natural wood. Using only domestic wood, they handle everything from cutting the logs to finishing the wood. Using the traditional "shibo-urushi" lacquering method, they create a durable, non-slip finish. The high-quality, leather-like texture feels soft and clings to your skin. While individual products will vary, color and wood grain cannot be specified. Cannot be used in dishwashers, dish dryers, ovens, or microwaves. Do not use abrasive products such as scrubbing pads or cleansers, as they may scratch or peel. Avoid soaking.
