It is a matched pair given as a symbol of togetherness, used together at the table each day. The tradition is one of the most enduring in Japanese domestic life, and these cherry blossom bowls carry that meaning with a lightness that suits modern homes as much as traditional ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the Echizen Shikki (越前漆器) tradition of Fukui Prefecture, a METI-designated lacquerware craft dating to the 6th century, each bowl is finished with urushi lacquer applied by hand in thin coats that build a deep, polished surface. The cherry blossom motif sits against the lacquer ground in a way that feels neither busy nor formal, a calm seasonal detail that is easy to live with every day. At 12cm wide, the bowls suit miso soup, rice, or small side dishes. Gift-ready as a pair for an anniversary, wedding, or any occasion that deserves something lasting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echizen urushi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52928664043863,"sku":"BOW-LAC-EUL-001-GBX","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9328\/9303\/files\/DSC05028.jpg?v=1778169919","url":"https:\/\/iromizu.co.uk\/products\/lacqure-bowl-cherry-blossom-pattern-pair","provider":"iromizu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
