I don't know when this was purchased for practice. It is an old item. The summer season is short in this area, so it is likely to be used only a few times a year. The vermilion lacquer still has a shine, and it is in good condition. Terumine Hayashi is known for his many true-lacquer ro-buchi (furnace edges) and as a Wajima-nuri lacquer artist. It will be shipped in a paper box inside the accompanying box.
