Thank you for viewing. Yamanaka lacquerware has a long history of over 400 years. A major characteristic of Yamanaka lacquerware is its use of the wood grain to express a natural texture, and its vertical wood grain (tatekidori) method, which shapes the vessels along the direction the wood grows. Size: φ approx. 24 x H approx. 9cm, made in Japan Material: Wood, hollowed out, lacquered Although unused, there is a crack that occurred during storage (see photo 5). There is no problem with use, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
