About the Item

This unique Kanshitsu Bachi bowl is a remarkable piece of Japanese lacquer artistry from the Showa period (20th century). Traditionally, lacquer craftsmen applied excess lacquer from their brushes onto wooden bowls, allowing layers to accumulate over time. After years of this meticulous process, a textured lacquer surface is formed, which is then carefully carved and polished to reveal a one-of-a-kind pattern. The result is a stunning, textured finish that captures the essence of this traditional craft, making each piece an original work of art. The bowl is accompanied by a signed wooden storage box, further adding to its historical value. With its beautiful form and textured surface, this Kanshitsu Bachi is a perfect representation of the artisanal lacquer techniques that have been passed down for generations.
