Echizen Lacquerware has a 1500-year history.
It began when a lacquerware craftsman was ordered by the Emperor in the 6th century to repaint his crown. Upon presenting black lacquered tableware, the Emperor was deeply impressed by its magnificent luster and encouraged its production.
A characteristic of the production area is that the wood turning is done by cutting the wood vertically, as it stands.
The coating technique is called Hananuri, where the finishing lacquer is applied and then dried as is, without brush marks or dust.
Echizen Lacquerware is designated as a traditional craft by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
Even though it is urushi lacquerware, it is easy to handle.
Wash gently with mild dish soap, wipe off moisture with a soft cloth, and then air dry.
(*Not suitable for microwave ovens or dishwashers)
Size is approximately φ12.2×2.1cm (×5 pieces)
Comes in a wooden box, making it ideal for gifts.
