A deep, lustrous black or vermilion bowl with an elegant lid, a special item for a festive day. Perhaps because of that impression, I had always considered lacquerware to be something far removed from everyday life.\u003cbr class=\"sp-br\"\u003eThis soup bowl from Rokurosha helped reset that preconception. There are various techniques for lacquerware, but this bowl is made using the \"fuki-urushi\" (wipe-lacquer) technique, where lacquer is repeatedly rubbed into the wooden bowl. It has a light feel, can be washed with dish soap, and is easy to maintain, making it suitable for daily use. I find it incredibly comforting to enjoy my daily soup in such a beautiful, unpretentious bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/4_91aab884-923a-4431-a39d-dca8100936ef.webp?v=1749722672\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/5_3e661103-7df2-41b4-bb48-ab6af9b0bd30.webp?v=1749722683\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/6_dede813d-3526-43b2-8e37-d170d1aa781b.webp?v=1749722694\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-media\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe beauty of the wood grain,\u003cbr class=\"sp-br\"\u003e and the translucent luster of lacquer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-media\"\u003eRokurosha, who operates a workshop in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, creates products while inheriting the traditional techniques of a marumono-kijishi (turner). A kijishi is a craftsman who uses a lathe to carve wood and create products such as bowls and trays. On Rokurosha's website, you can watch a short video of their production process, and it's impressive to see how the wood is carved and quickly takes shape.\u003cbr class=\"sp-br\"\u003eThe core wood is Mizume-zakura, a natural wood characterized by its fine and elegant grain. The lacquer is finished with a light sheen, allowing the subtle expression of the wood grain to emerge. At kikkake, we offer two types: a clear amber raw lacquer (ki-urushi) finish and a translucent black lacquer finish. We hope you will enjoy how the luster of the lacquer deepens with each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/7_87f69a30-5030-4d85-aa71-5e4c34dc68a3.webp?v=1749722797\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/8_b7eb91e7-c307-49f3-9e4d-3e8271b2c354.webp?v=1749722807\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/2026\/4726\/files\/9_dd44ced3-0332-409e-92fa-9de0ffa5097d.webp?v=1749722815\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-media\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIts linear shape creates a sophisticated impression,\u003cbr class=\"sp-br\"\u003e stable and easy to hold.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"text-media\"\u003eThis soup bowl has a distinctive shape with a high foot and a sleek, linear body. This balance gives it a refined and dignified presence.
