National Times Bureau :- Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presented a unique and culturally significant gift to Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba — a set of vintage precious stone ramen bowls accompanied by silver chopsticks.
The exclusive gift comprises a large brown moonstone bowl with four smaller bowls, designed to reflect the essence of Japanese donburi and soba traditions. The moonstone, sourced from Andhra Pradesh, is known for its adularescence and symbolizes love, balance, and protection.
Adding to its grandeur, the main bowl’s base is crafted from Makrana marble, intricately inlaid with semi-precious stones in the traditional Rajasthani parchin kari style, representing a fine blend of Indian artistry and Japanese culinary heritage.
