By popular author Ryoko Kasahara This is a焼締め (yakishime) bowl. Purchased in 2024. Diameter approx. 22.5cm, Height approx. 7.5cm This is a very beautiful vessel that was used for product photography on the seller's social media. It has been used a few times for noodles. It made even simple everyday meals delicious. Photos 1-5 were taken in a room with daylight LED lighting. Under natural light, it appears darker, as shown in photos 6 and 7. Care Instructions Dishwasher not recommended Rinse with water before use Dry thoroughly before storing (Please research how to care for stoneware) I am parting with it due to space constraints. I would like to pass it on to someone who will cherish it. There is no damage, but it has been used about 3 times. It is not new, so please do not purchase if you are hesitant about used items. It will be shipped anonymously via Yamato Transport.
