These are five soup bowls, or "oshiruwan," dating back about 80 years. They are of a level used in high-class Japanese restaurants. Currently, similar wooden, genuine lacquerware with gold accents sell for around 30,000 yen in department stores like Mitsukoshi. These soup bowls are crafted by artisans from natural wood into beautiful shapes and are coated with multiple layers of natural Japanese lacquer. The dragon and peony flowers are beautifully depicted using the chinkin technique, where patterns are carved into the surface and then filled with gold. The combination of Mount Fuji and the dragon is artistic. Currently, over 90% of the lacquer used in Japan is imported from China, making natural Japanese lacquerware precious. The bowls are finished in a very beautiful vermillion color, achieved by repeatedly applying lacquer to the natural wood base. You can enjoy your soup, New Year's soup, and miso soup elegantly. They allow you to feel history while creating a gorgeous dining experience and evoke an artistic and luxurious atmosphere. ◯ Size (cm) Height: 7 (including lid), 2.5 (bowl) Diameter: 12 Also on sale: Yamada Heian-do, wild birds, sparrows, birds, New Year's, New Year's soup Antique, vintage, brocante, Orne de Feuilles, vintage, antique, figurines, feng shui, fine art, antique art, antiques, Buddhist altar fittings, antique art, old tools, Buddhism, Buddhist statues, Buddha, Oriental art, Amitabha, tea ceremony utensils, old tools, art gallery, modernism, modern art, contemporary art, African art, primitive art, art, museum, art, mid-century, Japan Folk Crafts Museum, Cubism, Asian goods, Scandinavian goods, American toys, American goods, Showa retro, Taisho, Meiji, Edo, romance, dolls, bisque dolls, figurines, figures, Disney, Arabia, Marimekko, Alessi, Lisa Larson, Bernard Leach, Sori Yanagi, Takashi Murakami, Arita ware, Kutani ware, Ko-Imari, Imari, Yachimun, Onta ware, Koransha, Seto novelty, Shigaraki ware, Mashiko ware, Daigo kiln, Kyo-yaki, Omuro-yaki, Awata-yaki, Bizen ware, Mino ware, Hasami ware, Seto ware, Tamba ware, Ibe ware, Kiyomizu-yaki, Kyo-yaki, Hakusan pottery, bowls, tea utensils, Akazu ware, Fukagawa Seiji
