I am a White Urushi Rimmed Bowl. I'm made of wood? No way!
Ryuji Mitani has become known for his unique way of applying lacquer (urushi). The brushstrokes are visible leaving a one-of-a-kind surface. This piece has a thick base and is quite shallow making it perfect for a small individual portion of bisque or oatmeal.
