This is a beautiful set of five Japanese soup bowls made in the Yamanaka Onsen area of Ishikawa Prefecture, known for its long tradition of Yamanaka lacquerware. This set is unused old stock and includes the original box and accompanying papers.

The bowls feature a vivid vermilion-red finish paired with elegant gold-colored lids decorated with seasonal floral motifs. Each lid has a different flower design, creating a refined and festive appearance that reflects traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Yamanaka lacquerware is a traditional craft with a history dating back to around the 16th century in the Yamanaka Onsen region of Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. The area became especially renowned for its advanced wood-turning techniques and practical yet elegant tableware, and today remains one of Japan’s most respected lacquerware-producing regions.

Although these bowls have the appearance of traditional lacquerware, they are urethane-coated ware rather than genuine urushi lacquer. This makes them lighter, easier to maintain, and highly practical for everyday use while still preserving the elegant look of classic Japanese lacquer-style tableware.

Suitable for serving soup, rice, side dishes, desserts, and seasonal meals, the set also works beautifully as Japanese interior décor or festive table presentation.
