An Edo yuioke goldfish bowl made of natural wood that is over 300 years old. Its maker is Oke-Ei, established 1887 in Fukagawa, Tokyo. Today we see these beautifully made tubs mainly in sushi restaurants, holding large quantities of cooked rice. At one time they were found most everywhere in a variety of uses; kitchen, bath, and as in this case, a beautifully crafted aquarium. They had a particularly high profile in the entertainment and hospitality sector of the old city, of which Fukagawa was a part. “It’s so beautifully made that you can’t see the seams between the pieces,” says KASHIYUKA.
Purchase No. 55【Edo Yuioke】The freshness of this woodcraft hints at daily life in a bygone time.
