KOROMO Soup Bowl

"KOROMO Bowl: A Fusion of Wood, Lacquer, and Maki-e Art"

Experience the harmonious blend of wood, lacquer, and elegant maki-e art in the "KOROMO" series bowl. This bowl offers the distinctive texture of wood, the exquisite colors of lacquer, and the refined beauty of maki-e art, all in one design.

The upper part of the bowl features lacquer in deep red or black, while the lower part is finished with a clear coat that preserves the natural wood grain. A delicate line of gold or silver maki-e art acts as an accent, creating a stylish ambiance with its simple yet sophisticated design.

Red lacquer is adorned with gold maki-e lines, and black lacquer is accompanied by silver maki-e lines. The elegant shape of the bowl makes it suitable not only as a soup bowl but also as a rice bowl. The lacquered areas are coated in "mehajiki," a style that leaves the wood grain visible, allowing for casual and versatile use.

Available in two colors: red with gold lines and black with silver lines. You can mix and match these bowls for different purposes or pair them up as thoughtful gifts for weddings, golden anniversaries, or silver anniversaries.

The lightweight nature of wood makes these bowls easy to handle, making them ideal gifts for occasions such as Respect for the Aged Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, 60th birthdays, and more.
