Hazoriwan Bowl Medium

This Hazoriwan bowl is shaped with a tall foot and softly curving body, which makes it easy to sip from the lip of the bowl. The well-balanced form is ideal for serving miso soup.

The bowl’s rounded form and rich expression are achieved through the honkataji technique. This meticulous process involves lacquering cloth around the bowl’s more delicate areas, such as the edges and base. A base coat made from Wajima jinoko (fired diatomaceous earth sourced from Mt. Komine in Wajima City) is then applied and polished, followed by a middle coat and a final topcoat, each polished to a high finish. Over time, the bowl will develop an elegant lustre and enhanced brightness.
