The gently curved base of the "Sugiwan" resembles the top of a cedar tree (sugi in Japanese) when turned upside down, hence its name. It is rounded on the inside and sleek on the outside. The different lines on the inside and outside are a form that can only be achieved by a bowl-maker with solid skills.
The plump texture and deep look that only lacquer can give are the result of the "honkataji technique." The natural wood is cloth-finished and primed with "Wajima jinoko," then carefully lacquered in the middle and top coats. You can also enjoy the beauty of the product as it ages, as it gradually becomes shiny and richly expressive with use.
As a rice bowl or soup cup, the modern and dignified Sugiwan can be used for a wide range of purposes, both Japanese and Western.
