Description
These covered lacquer bowls are generally used for the nimono, or main course of the formal kaiseki meal, though they may also be used for the soup course of the tenshin repast, a lighter, more informal meal. The nimono course, also known as wanmori, consists of an assortment of cooked delicacies in a clear broth, designed to appeal to all of the senses. It is the highlight and focal point of the kaiseki meal. The set is housed in a paulownia box. Maki-e.
