Among the lacquer cultures with a history of over a thousand years, it is particularly characterized by its precise and highly durable techniques. Craftsmen repeatedly apply layers of carefully selected lacquer, repeating the processes of drying and polishing, to create a deep luster and a durable texture. Furthermore, by using decorative techniques such as maki-e (sprinkled picture) and chinkin (gold inlay), each individual work has value as a work of art. The charm of Wajima-nuri is not only its beauty but also its unchanging brilliance even with daily use. You can feel the breath of the artisan the moment you hold it in your hand. It is truly "the ultimate in Japanese traditional crafts, whose flavor increases with use." Wajima-nuri, a traditional craft, is designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property. It is a high-class lacquerware that can be used for generations. ・This item has been stored in a warehouse unused.
