Urushi Ume Lacquer Bowls – Tradition, Elegance, and Everyday Harmony
Designed to bring warmth and grace to your daily meals, this pair of lacquer bowls features a delicate ume (plum blossom) motif — a symbol of renewal and quiet strength in Japanese culture.
Crafted in Fukui Prefecture, a region celebrated for its centuries-old urushi lacquerware tradition, each bowl is finished with natural lacquer that enhances the grain and luster of the wood. The result is a timeless piece that balances beauty with durability — refined enough for formal meals, yet practical for everyday use.
This set includes two bowls:
– Black with red interior (Kuro-naishu) – understated elegance
– Vibrant red (Shu) – bright, celebratory warmth
Perfect for serving rice, miso soup, or clear broth as part of your ichiju-sansai meal, these bowls are lightweight, smooth to the touch, and surprisingly dishwasher-safe — combining traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience.

This lacquer bowl has a super charming plum blossom design that’s so pretty and unique! Just pouring miso soup into it makes the whole meal look extra special.
Thank you, Rina! I totally agree! What we make is very simple, but once it's served in this bowl, it suddenly looks so sophisticated!

I’ll pass your review on to our craftsmen!
They each have a message they hope to convey through the pieces they create, but they rarely get to hear how the customers who receive them actually feel or use them.
Your message will definitely encourage them.
Thank you so much, Anthony!
I bought these two bowls and they are very beautiful. Very sturdy, high quality. Beautiful works of art. I'm using them for trinket dishes, and I love looking at them everyday. They are technically for food, but this is how I love using them. I highly recommend.

We fell in love with these lacquer bowls as soon as we saw them online, but they’re even more beautiful in person. The quality is excellent, and they feel really nice to hold. We used them right away for dinner, and they instantly made the meal feel more special. We’ve bought different bowls for soups before, but these are definitely our favourite! We highly recommend them!
