A Relaxing Lifestyle


A bowl created from Meibokuwan and that draws out the beauty in woods to the full.

The producer of these wooden bowls is Sonobe Sangyo, who manufactures based on "Odawara Wooden Products," which is a local industry in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Each wooden bowl takes several months to complete, and craftsmen of Sonobe Sangyo go through the entire procedure of selecting the wood, drying the wood, forming using potter's wheel, and finishing with paint.

As it is made of wood, one of its features is the soft-touch that the lip of these bowls has. Another characteristic is that the bowls match with any kind of dish, whether it is a western or an eastern dish.

The Meiboku Bowl Pomme is thick and heavy allowing users to appreciate the value of nature.



Odawara Woodenware


As the neighboring Izu and Hakone contained rich nature within the regions, production utilizing wood as material prospered in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture.

In the Edo period, woodenware made at Odawara became popular among travelers traveling Hakone and Tokaido.

The popularity showed no signs of slowing down, and even during the post-war period, the woodenware utilizing high-quality wood and technology was highly regarded, exporting salad bowls abroad.

Even today, the high-quality wooden materials and technology are surely handed down.






Cherry
Cherry, beloved by Japanese. The fine and shiny qualities of the material are some of the characteristics of cherry. While the material is also strong, and thus, the cherry bowl is also solid.
Oak
Oak has been used as materials for furniture and casks for liquor in the West. Japanese oaks are characterized by their solid and heavy material. It perfectly plays its role even as a vessel on top of the dining table. If cherry is feminine, Japanese oak may be masculine.
Walnut
Japanese walnut appears a little more simple compared to the walnut tree used for western furniture. The deep and unique color, dimly purplish and smokey in appearance, produces a very elegant and refined impression in contrast to precise, lustrous grain with shades.
