This golden Hida-Shunkei lacquered bowl embodies the exceptional artistry of master craftspeople in Hida-Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
The luminous finish results from the sophisticated interplay between natural wood substrate and transparent lacquer application—a technique whose proprietary colour secrets remain closely held within the artisan family.
As with all Shunkei pieces, the patina evolves beautifully over time, with color depth and clarity intensifying with use and age.
Measuring 21.5 cm in diameter and 5.2 cm in height, this versatile vessel suits both everyday dining and special presentations. The bowl's warm golden tones complement diverse culinary presentations while its handcrafted quality ensures each piece possesses unique character and distinction.
How to handle:
As Shunkei is made of natural materials, please do not soak it in water for a long time.
Use a soft sponge or soft cloth to wash off all dirt, and avoid direct sunlight, proximity to an air-conditioning, and extreme dryness.
Do not use: hard sponge, scrubbing brush, abrasives, bleach, boiling water, a microwave or oven, dishwasher, or drier.
