The major feature is what it expresses a texture of wood by making the best use of its grain pattern and that it has both beauty and functionality. A pair of soup bowls in a traditional style, lacquered with the beautiful colors. It is made by the technique that is hollowed out a Zelkova wood, Keyaki, with the wood turning. The coating is finished by the technique called “Fuki-Urushi”, which repeats many times by applying the lacquer and wiping off it with a cloth. Or it is called "Suri-Urushi".
