Shu-Hiraizumi Lacquerware, Lacquered, Lidded Bowl Set These bowls have a very beautiful form and design. They can also be stacked, making them functionally excellent. They have not been used, so they are in good condition and highly recommended! 【What is Shu-Hiraizumi Lacquerware?】 In the late Heian period, in Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture, Shu-Hiraizumi lacquerware began under the Oshu Fujiwara clan, who wielded power and wealth and brought Buddhist art, including the Konjiki-do (Golden Hall) of Chuson-ji Temple, to this land. The history of several hundred years since the Fujiwara clan's demise is still uncertain, but from the late Edo period, lacquerware has been actively manufactured in Koromogawa Village, next to Hiraizumi Town, and continues to the present day.
