Yamanaka Lacquerware
Yamanaka lacquerware, one of Japan’s five major traditions, highlights the natural beauty of wood grain. Using the unique “vertical wood cutting” technique, these pieces resist warping and are built to last. Delicate lathe work, such as sensuji and arasugi patterns, adds fine decorative detail, resulting in elegant bowls, thinly turned vessels, and lidded containers.
