Takashi Kougei Cara Bowl
Description
Crafted from native Hokkaido linden wood, the Takahashi Kougei Cara Bowl traces the smooth, organic contours of an eggshell, designed to cradle effortlessly in the palm of your hand.
Because natural wood retains a low thermal conductivity, warm soups and dishes gently release their heat over time, keeping your meal comforting while remaining pleasantly cool to the touch. Remarkably lightweight yet inherently resilient, it brings a tactile, grounding alternative to conventional porcelain and glass.
This 6" bowl is a generous vessel perfectly suited for hearty cereals, rustic stews, and nourishing grain bowls.

Care
- Avoid using a microwave or dishwasher, and refrain from soaking in water for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to moisture or high heat can cause the protective finish to stress or crack.

About Takahashi Kougei
Founded in 1965 in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Takahashi Kougei began as a woodturning workshop producing components for the region’s furniture industry. Today, second-generation woodturner Hidetoshi Takahashi transforms locally sourced Hokkaido timber into tableware defined by lightness, warmth, and precision.
Each piece is slowly dried, turned, and finished to preserve the wood’s natural grain and color. The signature Kami series pares solid wood to a paper-like thinness, creating vessels that feel remarkably light in the hand while remaining practical for everyday use. Simple and contemporary, Takahashi Kougei’s objects bring the quiet warmth of the Hokkaido forest to the table.
