All OWAN BOWLS WE OFFER are genuine, heirloom-grade Japanese lacquerware.
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.
