Your fingers settle naturally into the curve of the bowl, and because wood does not conduct heat, it stays comfortable to hold even with a hot drink inside. Use it for café au lait, as a small rice or noodle bowl, or as a soup bowl: it is a versatile size for everyday meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4784\/6735\/files\/chanto-26-10-15.webp\" alt=\"chanto multi bowl in yellow, side view\" style=\"max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrushi lacquerware can be used for as long as the wood lives. Use it with care for many years and enjoy the way its colour and texture change over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColours only a craftsman can repeat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes chanto stand out is its vivid coloured urushi, shades you rarely see in lacquerware. Coloured lacquer changes subtly with temperature and humidity, so mixing exactly the same colour again and again is one of the hardest things to do. chanto’s craftsman reproduces each complex colour every time; the skill is in what you do not notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEach piece is finished by the workshop; depending on the colour and quantity, it may take about 1–2 weeks to ship. Delivered in chanto’s original box.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout chanto\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003echanto comes from Hikone in Shiga Prefecture, a town with some 300 years of history in making Buddhist altars. The skills behind those altars, lacquering, woodworking, gold leaf and carving, first developed to make armour for the Hikone domain. Inoue, an altar maker of more than 100 years, created chanto with designer Takumi Shimamura to bring this craftsmanship into modern life. In the local dialect, “chanto” describes sitting up straight and doing things properly. The brand’s concept is the café: just as cafés have become part of everyday life, chanto hopes urushi lacquerware can become an everyday essential again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 13.5 cm diameter × 8 cm high (5.3 × 3.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 260 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: wood, urushi lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: brown, green, yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo special care is needed.
