Oborozuki means “hazy moon”—the soft, veiled moon of a spring night, a favorite image in Japanese poetry. In this series, a master woodturner shapes natural Japanese wood thin, the surface is finished with wiped urushi lacquer to bring out the grain, and a leaf artisan creates the moon using pure gold leaf alone. The wood grain becomes a landscape, with the moon floating above it.
A natural wood bowl that suits both Japanese and Western tables—for salads, fruit, or side dishes. One of the most popular pieces in the series.
Sun is a traditional Japanese unit of length (about 1.2 in); the size name refers to the bowl’s diameter.
