Beautiful antique Japanese owan bowl finished in deep-toned urushi lacquer.
This piece features a particularly graceful and well-balanced form, embodying the elegance of traditional Japanese design and craftsmanship.
Subtle decorative elements are added using the Chinkin technique—where designs are delicately carved into the lacquer surface and filled with gold powder. This process requires high precision and is a hallmark of refined Japanese lacquer artistry.
A refined example of functional art, perfect for miso soup, clear broth, or simply as a display piece in a curated interior.

They are made from natural wood, finished with 100% natural Urushi lacquer, and crafted entirely by hand in Japan, following traditional methods. (Plastic sinks in water — real wood floats)
Especially with antique lacquerware, the refinement of craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of form are truly exceptional — qualities that cannot be replicated by modern industrial substitutes.
