Timeless Elegance
This impressive lidded container was created for traditional Japanese cuisine. 
Its distinctive form features a square rim and a round lid. The blue and green cloisonné pattern, bordered with gold, adds a touch of elegance. The cloisonné pattern, with its continuous circles, is imbued with meanings such as harmony, rapport, and connection. 
This product was made around the 1990s, but due to technical reasons, it is no longer possible to produce it, and it has been stored as deadstock. Its elegant appearance, unchanged over the years, is what makes it so appealing.
A restaurant-quality dish
Serve a single portion of stew, such as young bamboo shoots or chikuzenni. Place yuzu peel on shrimp dumplings to release a fragrant aroma when you open the lid. The auspicious pattern makes it perfect for celebrations and New Year's parties. 
It's also great to flip the lid over and use it as a rice bowl! Enjoy using it however you like.
