The Black Lacquered Oryoki Bowl reflects both tradition and quiet refinement. Carved from Japanese zelkova wood, each piece reveals subtle wood grain beneath layers of hand-applied lacquer, creating a deep, lustrous finish. Designed as a complete set of six nesting bowls, they stack neatly inside one another, a detail that balances beauty with practicality.
Oryoki, meaning “just the right amount,” originated in Zen Buddhist practice, where monks used these bowls in mindful meals. Today, their timeless form carries the same spirit of simplicity and intention, while adapting beautifully to modern dining.
Durable yet graceful, the Black Lacquered Oryoki Bowl is ideal for serving rice, soup, or small dishes. Whether used individually or as a nested set, it enriches the table with a sense of history, artistry, and harmony.

Oryoki Bowl (Nesting Set)
Oryoki bowls are a nested set of tableware traditionally used by monks and practitioners of Zen Buddhism. They use these bowls in a formal and meditative style of eating that pays great attention to detail in order to cultivate gratitude, mindfulness, and a better understanding of self. Oryoki sets of three to six bowls are commonly made of wood and are often lacquered.Yamanaka Lacquerware
Yamanaka lacquerware dates back to 1580 when highly skilled kimono-koji (wood-turning) artisans settled in the village of Masago - today’s Ishikawa Prefecture of Japan. World-famous for their intricately carved wooden pieces, Yamanaka artisans are renowned for the rich lacquer that they use to painstakingly seal and decorate their pieces. Chestnut, cherry, and other traditional woods feature at the heart of these stunning wood pieces.We offer a flat rate of USD $25 for shipping to the U.S., and Free Shipping on orders over USD $199.
