Tsumugi Wooden Bowl - Mokko

This handsome bowl is made in the Yamanaka Onsen region, where lacquering and woodworking have been practiced for centuries. Tsumugi bowls are made from Japanese Zelkova wood, which is prized for its use in traditional furniture and taiko drums. Lacquered in a way that showcases its natural wood grain, the Tsumugi Wooden Bowl provides an artful means of enjoying soups and rice dishes. Perfectly symmetrical and smooth to the touch, this stunning piece is a testament to the perfection that can be achieved by human hands. Our collection of Gato Tsumugi bowls have been awarded the Good Design accolade.

Recipients of the prestigious 2025 Cool Japan Award, Gato Woodworks' heritage methods and expertise have been recognized in Japan and internationally.
