The Art of the Bowl

Tsumugi bowls are designed to follow traditional Japanese food culture that has been preserved through generations. These wooden bowls are hand-turned from Japanese Zelkova wood, which is prized for its quality and grain. 

Each bowl from the Tsumugi collection takes after a traditional Japanese shape. This one was inspired by Mt. Fuji, a symbol of prosperity in both business as well as family.
