Echizen lacquerware, a high-quality wooden rice bowl with lacquer coating.
Finished elegantly with Tame-nuri (dark red lacquer).
Shallower than a soup bowl with a wider mouth, designed for easy use with chopsticks.
You might think it's a bit luxurious, but it's crack-resistant and easy to care for.
Above all, the taste of the rice is different.
Echizen lacquerware has a 1500-year history.
It began when a lacquer craftsman, ordered to repaint the Emperor's crown in the 6th century, presented black lacquered tableware. The Emperor was deeply impressed by its magnificent luster and encouraged its production.
As a characteristic of the production area, the wood turning is done by radially cutting the wood.
The coating is characterized by the Hananuri technique, where the finishing lacquer is applied and dried as is, without brush marks or dust.
Echizen lacquerware has been designated as a traditional craft by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
Even though it's a lacquered bowl, it's easy to handle.
Gently wash with your usual neutral detergent, wipe off moisture with a soft cloth, and then air dry.
(Note: Not suitable for microwave ovens or dishwashers)
Size is approximately φ12.8×6cm (1 piece)
Specifications: Wood, Hon-katachi, Lacquer coating, Hand-painted
What is Hon-katachi...
It is a traditional technique for lacquering, where a mixture of powdered clay (tonoko) and other powders is kneaded into a clay-like substance and mixed with lacquer for application.
