Soft cloth or soft sponge recommended for cleaning

Before first use, rinse and dry gently; a mild smell of lacquer may fade naturally with use.

Wash with a soft sponge and avoid abrasive scrubbers or powders.

Do not use in the microwave, oven, grill, or dishwasher unless specifically stated.

Avoid prolonged soaking, direct sunlight, and high humidity.

Handle carefully, as lacquered surfaces can scratch or chip if struck.

At a glance

• Matched black-and-red meoto-wan pair, traditionally associated with sharing everyday life together
• Cherry blossoms appear inside each bowl, gradually revealed through the meal
• A meaningful wedding, anniversary or new-home gift designed to keep being used afterwards

These two bowls are designed as a pair rather than simply sold as a set.

Known in Japan as meoto-wan, paired bowls traditionally represent two people sharing everyday life together. One is finished in black and the other in red, giving each person their own bowl while keeping the pair visually connected.

Cherry blossoms appear inside both bowls, so part of the decoration is gradually revealed as the meal is eaten. Sakura’s association with spring and new beginnings gives the design a natural connection with weddings, anniversaries and other new chapters.

Finished with urushi lacquer in the Echizen lacquerware tradition, the bowls are approximately 12cm across and made for everyday use after the occasion itself has passed: soup, rice, porridge or smaller side dishes.
