"Yarai" is an elegant bowl that combines the beauty of radially arranged bamboo strips — a traditional technique known as yarai weaving — with the practicality of glass. The finely shaved bamboo strips are arranged in a precise, rhythmic pattern, creating a delicate texture that almost looks as if light itself has been woven in.
A glass insert sits inside the bamboo frame, blending the warm, natural look of bamboo with everyday functionality. The black rim gives the piece a refined, polished finish while allowing the bamboo's rich amber tone to truly stand out.
Perfect for serving salads, fruit, or sweets, this bowl brings a touch of Japanese sophistication to any table setting. Whether for entertaining guests or everyday use, it adds a quiet sense of occasion to your meals — a beautifully handcrafted piece you'll want to keep reaching for.

Artisan's comment:
The delicacy of the bamboo strips paired with the clarity of the glass creates a cool, refreshing feel. The contrast between the black frame and the natural bamboo color makes a striking impression. Feel free to use it however suits you best．
