Miyabi Urushi Kogei Japan Hangiri Sawara 39Cm Wooden Rice Mixing Bowl

The Miyabi Urushi Kogei Japan Hangiri Sawara 39Cm Wooden Rice Mixing Bowl is expertly crafted from Sawara wood, a highly valued material from the Kiso region of Japan. Made using traditional methods, the Hangiri showcases a beautiful masame pattern and copper ornamentation, giving it a sophisticated look. This unique wood contains more resin than other types, providing greater durability, water resistance, and natural antibacterial effects. Care must be taken to wash the bowl with hot water and dry it in a well-ventilated place to avoid shrinking, cracking, or loosening of the copper ornamentation. The bowl is not dishwasher safe, as noted by the Japan National Tourism Organization.
