Notes
- This item is a set of 5 pieces. We will put them with great care in a special "kiri bako" (paulownia wooden box) before gift-wrapping them as usual. You can keep the "kiri bako" to store your bowls in, as works of art are at museums.
- Each bowl includes a pair of wooden chopsticks as a free gift.
- Chopsticks in pictures on this page are Tenkezuri Hashi Shunju Maki-e with shaved "tenkezuri" ends and a design of sakura cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. They are different from the complimentary pairs.
- These "suimono" soup bowls can only be introduced for a limited number in stock, possibly less than 3 sets per year worldwide. Because they require exquisite, thus highly rare, techniques of Japan's traditional craftsmanship to paint such complex designs, even those few craftsmen who are skilled enough need a certain period of time to create them. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience in case we are out of stock.
One Box of "Kiri Bako,"
Centuries of Safe Storage.
We will put this item in a special "kiri bako" (paulownia wooden box) upon delivery. This form of long-established protection is commonly used in Japan to store works of the highest values, including art pieces at museums and documents at the Japanese Imperial Household. Its resistance against humidity, heat, and mould enables safe storage for centuries to come.
In addition, not only the contents, but also a "kiri bako" itself is often regarded as a fine piece of art. Its beautiful surface, smooth in texture and soothing in visual with natural grain patterns, may well reveal the delicacy of Japanese traditions that have been succeeded over the course of history. A calligraphic signature on the lid is the name of the item in Japanese, written just for this particular item. We have also signed and put our seal on the back.
You can keep this "kiri bako" to store your item, if not to display, when you are not using it.
