Kofukuwan Bowl Medium

This lacquered bowl is inspired by the rounded form of a travel-friendly matcha bowl. The matte makiji finish is created from a base coat of raw lacquer, followed by a layer of Wajima jinoko (fired diatomaceous earth sourced from Mt. Komine in Wajima City). This produces a non-slip surface with exceptional durability, allowing the bowl to be used with metal cutlery. Its size is well suited for rice or small dishes.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
