One is lacquered in a deep black color, and the other is vermilion red. Both bowls feature a floral motif on the inside, with a temari on the outside. Temari are traditional Japanese balls, similar to hacky sacks. The temari design is often used on Japanese goods and fabrics as it's seen as a cute reflection of youth.

They're constructed of molded wood powder that has been lacquered using traditional Japanese techniques, making them strong and durable, and perfect for everyday use.

Isuke has been dealing with lacquer and lacquerware in Kyoto for nearly 200 years, their traditional and contemporary Japanese designs are enhanced by the quality materials they use, which results in outstandingly high-quality and luxurious products.
