This item was purchased from the Ever Stand workshop in Myanmar over 20 years ago. It has been stored unused. Bagan crafts have been prized as exotic tea utensils in Japan since the time of Sen no Rikyu. However, due to various changes in the local situation in recent years, it is unfortunately becoming increasingly difficult to continue this culture. People and various creatures are densely depicted. It is a very delicate and beautiful work, so I think it would be wonderful as an interior decoration or as a serving dish for fruits and sweets. As shown in the last image, there is a 12cm long area where the paint is lifting at the joint. It may or may not be noticeable as a decorative plate, but if used as a practical item or washed, that area may peel off. Please understand. ●Size: Width 48.5cm, Length 37.3cm, Height approx. 3cm ◆Bagan Lacquerware◆ This technique involves drawing patterns on the surface of a bamboo-framed, lacquered base with a blade, and then rubbing colored lacquer into the scratches to create the artwork. The Japanese technique called Kinma (蒟醤) also seems to have originated from techniques from the south, such as Myanmar and Thailand. ※Please consider this item after acknowledging that it has been stored in a private home for a certain period of time. ※The purchase price includes a shipping fee of 1050 yen.
