Set of 5 Sendai Tsuishu (lacquerware) dessert plates. Sendai Tsuishu is lacquerware made by applying layers of vermilion lacquer to a molded base or wood base, and then adding an antique look with black. Its origins are in China. It is said that Einojo Kawasaki, a craftsman of Murakami Tsuishu in Niigata Prefecture, came to Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, during the Meiji era and laid the foundation for Sendai Tsuishu. With its delicate carvings and the oriental beauty of vermilion and black, Sendai Tsuishu is a local craft of which Sendai is proud. Shipped via Yu-Packet Post. Will be carefully packed and sent.
