Red Oryoki Bowl Set
Oryoki is a functional set of bowls inspired by Zen Buddhist principles, designed to minimize waste with a functional, minimalist style that suits modern tables. The set stacks perfectly, with smaller bowls nesting neatly inside the largest, ensuring easy storage and portability.
This compact design allows even a six-layer set to be stored effortlessly, making it both practical and space-saving. A single set can provide all the necessary dishes for one person, simplifying meal preparation.
Another advantage is its durability. Made from wood and crafted in Japan, this oryoki set is resistant to breakage, even if dropped. The lacquer coating protects it from scratches and deterioration, ensuring longevity.
This particular oryoki set is made from zelkova wood and finished with lacquer, following the traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques. The wipe-lacquer finish maintains the natural beauty of the woodgrain, and the minimalist design emphasizes its simplicity.
Since this set involves multiple nested bowls, each one requires precise woodworking to ensure a perfect fit. The woodgrain is an important feature of this product, so only the most skilled craftsmen among Yamanaka lacquerware artisans handle its production.
