Title: Post War Organic Modern Wood Turned Serving Bowl in Solid Hinoki Cedar, Occupied Japan, c. 1940s
About: Introducing a rare, post war serving bowl hand-carved from solid Hinoki Cedar. Rich in history, as it was crafted in occupied Japan with Japanese materials and labor when post war Japan was severely lacking both and recovering from the most intense bombing campaign in Human history.

Its spiritual significance lies in its purity, strength, and longevity. Traditionally, Hinoki was believed to invite good fortune and purify spaces, making it a preferred material for Shinto shrines, religious altars, and even bathhouses.
