Stackable Handmade Wooden Bowls

A beautiful and functional wooden bowl handmade in Yamanaka, Japan. 

Can be stacked on top of one another to save space in your cupboards. 

We were introduced to this traditional wood craft company on a visit of craftspeople in Ishikawa prefecture. A family run business, they have been creating wooden cutlery and tableware since the 1950s. Their area, Yamanaka, is one of 3 main producers of Japanese wood products and their products are generally referred to as Yamanaka Shiki. 

Designated by the Japanese government as an official dento-kogei (a traditional craft), Yamanaka Shikki carry a 400 year history and merges 2 traditional crafts into one: wood carving using a lathe (a rotating device where the wood rotates while the carving blade holds steady), and lacquering. Yamanaka Shikki products are often bowls or cups, referred to as wanmono, and are made to feature the beauty of the wood grain. 

Store away from direct sunlight or high humidity. 

Do not microwave or dishwash, or soak in water for long periods of time.
