Hinao Lacquerware Kurumu 6-inch Bowl, Navy

Tsuchinao Shikki Bowl

Echizen lacquerware is said to have originated 1,500 years ago in the Kawada district of Echizen City.
This bowl is from Tsuchinao Shikki, founded in 1962, utilizing the lacquerware manufacturing techniques cultivated in this region.

The refined bowl features the natural and rich textures of lacquer and zelkova wood, blending seamlessly with both Japanese and Western cuisine.
The "navy" color, which changes from a dark hue to blue over time, has a calming tone that harmonizes with other tableware, enhancing each other's beauty.
It gives a slightly fresh impression, yet strangely creates a cohesive space.

Its design is also ideal as a serving bowl for salads, fruits, stir-fries, and more.
Due to its generous size, it can be confidently used for curries and noodles.
The familiar colors and smooth curves blend into modern dining tables, making it suitable for any occasion.

Inheriting Tradition and Embracing New Craftsmanship

Tsuchinao Shikki reportedly handles all processes in-house, except for the base material preparation.

The workshop employs first-class skilled artisans and traditional craftspeople, with specialized artisans each fulfilling their roles and communicating closely to advance their work.
This process is said to enhance product completeness and stabilize quality.

They blend the traditional techniques of veteran staff with the new ideas and design capabilities of younger staff to create products that meet contemporary needs.
