Natural Wood Zelkova (Keyaki) Confectionery Bowl Yamanaka Lacquerware Traditional Craft Diameter: Approximately 23cm Height: Approximately 5.5cm This confectionery bowl is made by hollowing out natural zelkova wood, showcasing its beautiful wood grain. Yamanaka lacquerware is particularly skilled in decorative turning, which involves creating extremely fine grooves on the surface. This unique technique is a hallmark of the craft. This is a glossy lacquerware item that incorporates turning techniques. The decorative turning technique is applied to the inner and outer bottoms, making it delicate. Yamanaka lacquerware gains depth of luster and flavor the more it is used. The sixth image is from when the item was purchased. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. This item was found during a house clearance at my parents' home. Although unused, it has been stored for a long time, so I have listed it as "Near Mint." I am also listing other Yamanaka lacquerware items, so I would be happy if you would take a look.
