This is a medium-sized "Meiboku Wan" wooden bowl made of Japanese zelkova (keyaki) by Sonobe Sangyo. There are some minor scratches from use and some wear on the bottom, so I've listed it as "slightly scratched or dirty." However, in my opinion, they are not very noticeable, and the bowl is still in good condition. It's a bowl with a gentle, rounded wooden feel and a beautiful appearance. When you serve soup in this bowl, it looks even more delicious. Please consider this item only if you don't mind the minor details, as it has been used.
