Chef Prepares Dish in Bowl captures the focused craft of a professional cook at work — the knife work, the arrangement of ingredients, and the deliberate assembly of a composed dish that distinguished the Japanese culinary arts as a form of aesthetic practice as rigorous as any other. Mori's interest in traditional trades and crafts extended naturally to the kitchen arts, where the chef's skill was both technical and aesthetic. The chef bent over the bowl, his movements precise and practiced, represented the same dignity of craft he found in weavers, potters, and lantern-makers.
