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. Its gently curved form makes it the most versatile size in the series—ideal for serving salads, pasta, or fruit to share.
Sun is a traditional Japanese unit of length (about 1.2 in); the size name refers to the bowl’s diameter.
