Ōryoki, meaning "vessel that contains just enough", is a set of six nested wooden bowls that have been traditionally used by Buddhist monks. While most Ōryoki have a glossy finish, our matte version lends a modern, timeless appearance.

Orchestrated by Gato Mikio Shoten, these bowls are handcrafted by Japanese master artisan Nakade Hiromichi and are only available in limited quantities. Mr. Nakade specializes in the manufacture of Ōryoki, which require extreme precision and mastery of traditional woodworking techniques to create. He is one of the few artisans left who can produce Ōryoki of such high quality.
