UTENA

「うてな」 臺、台、基礎・支えになる部分の意。
古くから人々の生活に根付いている高台椀。
UTENA は今までの定番形状を見直し
『これからの定番となる、長く愛される高台椀』を目指しました。
凛とした佇まいと、手にやさしく収まるかたち。
山中漆器が誇る加飾挽きを用いた、
現代の食卓にも映える高台の器です。

"Utena" means a stand, platform, foundation or supporting part.
High-footed bowls have been deeply rooted in people's lives since ancient times.
UTENA has reconsidered the traditional shape,
aiming to create a high-footed bowl that will be loved for a long time and become a standard in the future.
It has a dignified appearance and a shape that fits comfortably in the hand.
It is a high-footed bowl that looks great on the modern dining table,
using decorative turning that Yamanaka lacquerware is proud of.
