✅ **[Lacquer Handle Crafted by a Lacquer Artisan]** This lacquer handle is made by a lacquer artisan in Kumamoto Prefecture, who applies multiple layers of lacquer over a month-long process. It is named "Senkoku" (閃黒), meaning "flashing black," due to the use of a special lacquer that holds a flash of brilliance within its jet-black finish.
✅ **[Artistry Elevated to the Extreme]** To further enhance the artistry of the lacquer handle, the butt of the handle features a diagonal cut achieved through special processing.
