Diameter: 30cm Height: 2.7cm Weight: Approximately 330g This is a lightweight wooden tray. It's made using a technique where rapeseed seeds are sprinkled onto semi-dried lacquer, and after drying, the seeds are removed. Then, another layer of lacquer is applied and polished, creating a fine circular pattern. It seems that achieving a uniform pattern requires skill. Tsugaru-nuri lacquerware features various techniques, including "Kara-nuri," but this particular pattern, with its elegant small-patterned design and the use of rapeseed seeds, is popular for its charming appearance. The pattern extends to the edges and the outside, subtly indicating its high quality. Tsugaru-nuri is known for the numerous layers of lacquer applied, taking a long time to complete, which is why it has the nickname "Baka-nuri" (rude!). This region produces lacquerware that combines durability and decorative beauty, so please consider it. By layering and polishing colorful lacquer, various patterns are created. I looked at the Tsugaru Nanako chopsticks my wife bought about 20 years ago, and they were as beautiful as they were then. If you have the opportunity to see a large collection at a tableware festival or department store event, please take a look. Each color is calm yet colorful, and the patterns are diverse and enjoyable!
