This is a white lacquer item, which is rare among lacquers. It is a gorgeous and beautiful kanzashi (hair ornament) with a delicate beige color like milk tea, and gold maki-e chrysanthemums blooming splendidly. The luster of the genuine lacquer and the gold maki-e shine luxuriously, and the mother-of-pearl shimmers blue when it catches the light. Please use it for occasions such as Shichi-Go-San (Children's Day), coming-of-age ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and cosplay. White Lacquer It was developed in the Taisho era, so its history is surprisingly short. The raw lacquer is a transparent amber color. Various pigments are mixed with it to create colored lacquer, but because the original material is transparent brown, it is impossible to create pale colors no matter what pigments are mixed. Since white pigments are mixed with the brownish raw lacquer, it is, of course, impossible to create a pure white color. It will be a color like beige or milk tea. Most people who see white lacquerware for the first time probably wouldn't describe the color as "white." The soft and calm color is one of the charms of white lacquer. Also, white lacquer is difficult to make, and the color varies depending on how the pigments are mixed, how it is applied, and the drying environment, which is also a charm of white lacquer. #koudo #香堂 #こうどう koudo 香堂 こうどう japanese kimono jewelry kanzashi 簪 *Please refrain from copying and listing the product content.
