Japanese Lacquer Set of 5 Lidded Zoni Soup Bowl 5.24inch Gold Bamboo & Plum,Drum MB483
This is an elegant set of five Japanese zoni bowls crafted in Wajima lacquer, decorated with the celebrated Hatsune makie design. The bowls are made of wood and finished in fine lacquer, featuring auspicious motifs including pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, and traditional drum imagery.
The Hatsune theme is closely associated with classical Japanese court culture and is inspired by literary traditions celebrated in Japanese decorative arts. The design combines graceful gold makie decoration with refined seasonal symbolism, creating an atmosphere of elegance and cultural sophistication.
Pine, bamboo, and plum are known collectively as the “Three Friends of Winter” and symbolize longevity, resilience, perseverance, and good fortune. The drum motif further enhances the auspicious nature of the design, representing celebration, happiness, and festive occasions.
Traditionally used for serving zoni, the ceremonial soup enjoyed during the Japanese New Year, bowls of this type were often reserved for important family gatherings and seasonal celebrations. Their decorative themes reflect wishes for prosperity, harmony, and long life.
Crafted in Wajima lacquer, one of Japan’s most highly regarded lacquerware traditions and a representative traditional craft of Ishikawa Prefecture, the bowls display exceptional durability, refined craftsmanship, and luxurious decorative quality.
The set comes with its original wooden storage box.
