This is a small, jet-black, Wajima-nuri lacquerware soup bowl. The standard size of a Wajima-nuri soup bowl is 12cm in diameter, but this one is small at 10.7cm. Small bowls are also called "small soup bowls" or "chopstick washers." "Chopstick rest" is a term used in kaiseki cuisine, referring to a palate cleanser served in the middle of a meal, usually a lightly flavored, small portion of soup. It can also be used for oshiruko (sweet red bean soup) or zenzai (sweet red bean soup with mochi). This is a jet-black bowl of Wajima-nuri lacquerware, said to be the most beautiful in the world. In the tea ceremony, a solid black lacquerware vessel is called "shin-nuri," which is considered the basic form of lacquerware. It's not just painted and finished; the surface is further polished, giving it a strong luster and shine, almost like a mirror. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there are some minor scratches. Made of natural wood and natural lacquer. Washed and disinfected.
