Carved from chestnut wood, this vessel features a low, expansive silhouette with a gently swelling profile and a wide, softly undulating rim. The intense black finish is achieved through a traditional pad-staining technique, using a linen pouch to tamponeer Yasutomo ink across the surface. This process allows the ink to deeply penetrate the complex grain lines, beautifully highlighting the organic texture of the wood. Natural tension within the core fibers creates subtle surface checks and delicate rim fractures, honoring the ever-changing structure of nature.
