Aeka Wood Lacquer Soup Bowl

Made from Japanese Horse Chestnut wood, every Aeka bowl is made by hand and lightly coated in a durable lacquer. Its impeccable design, sculptural form, and weightlessness suggest both an innate strength and a graceful fragility.

Rikyubashi Lacquered Chopsticks are a traditional handicraft from the rural Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan. Due to the natural wood and lacquer, the color, shape and size of each set will be slightly different.
