Set of 2 Urushi Ume Lacquer Bowls

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.
