Noir Centerpiece Bowl (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

I am a Noir Centerpiece Bowl. With the depth that I have, I can hold the world for you.

Curator’s Notes

This is the largest piece Ryuji Mitani has ever created. It is handcrafted from a single solid block of wood. The center is slowly carved out and finely chiseled to create a multi-faceted surface texture that reflects light in a dynamic manner. Then it is lacquered in black urushi while controlling brush stroke direction to further enhance the brilliance of this rare gem-like piece.
