 Since ancient times, bowls have been one of the most important tableware in Japan and have been used to enter and eat boiled food, rice, and soup. As for the basic structure of the bowl, it is usual that the vicinity of the bottom of the outer surface of the main body of food is formed into a convex surface, and subsequently, the tail of the yarn is projected downward in a cylindrical shape.

When using such a bowl, when holding the bowl with one hand (left hand) and manipulating the chopsticks with the right hand, the handle is in a state as shown in FIG. That is, the thumb is hung on the upper edge b of the food containing main body a, and the remaining three to four fingers are hung on the thread tail c on the bottom to stabilize.

The gripping state of such a bowl is not one in which the state of being placed on a table or a table can be changed at a stroke with one hand. At first, as shown in FIG. It is hung on the upper edge b of the main body a, and the remaining three to four fingers e are held against the convex surface f 1 near the bottom. Then, with the right hand once, it is normal to move the remaining three or four fingers to the thread tail 2 in a stepwise manner while balancing with the left and right hands.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, with the table placed on a table or table, the sides of the bowl are first grasped by both hands, and the thumb d of the left hand of the food storage body a is balanced while balancing. After moving to the upper edge b, the remaining three to four fingers are moved toward the thread tail, and the state shown in FIG. 10 is reached.
