Wooden mizusashi (water container) with a beautiful wave pattern, comes with a wooden box. I believe it's been 25 years since it was made. It was in a tea ceremony utensil storage. Keyaki (Japanese Zelkova) Kabuto (Helmet-shaped) Serving Bowl Yamanaka-nuri (Yamanaka Lacquerware) Features of Yamanaka-nuri Yamanaka-nuri is characterized by its use of the wood grain pattern to express a natural texture. A key feature of Yamanaka-nuri is the vertical wood grain (tatekidori), which shapes the vessel in the direction the wood grows. This results in durable lacquerware that is less prone to warping due to drying, allowing for intricate finishes not only on bowls but also on thin-turned items and lidded objects. This vessel is old but has not been used. Unused item. Looking at it after taking it out of the box is very soothing. The warmth of the keyaki wood, heavy yet refined form. I think it would be good for anything. It's also wonderful as interior decor. Size Bowl diameter: 23 cm Height: 7 cm Material: Wood Finish: Lacquer The outer box is not clean.
