Black Oryoki Bowl Set

Oryoki is a functional set of bowls designed to minimize waste in daily life, based on Zen Buddhist practices. It has been gaining attention for its ease of use, functionality, and minimalist design, making it ideal for contemporary dining.

Its 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 traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques. The wipe-lacquer finish preserves the natural woodgrain, contributing to its simple, minimalist aesthetic.

Since this set consists of multiple nested bowls, each piece requires precise craftsmanship to ensure a perfect fit. The woodgrain is a central feature of the design, so only the most skilled craftsmen in Yamanaka lacquerware are entrusted with its production.
