Thank you for viewing! This is a Kakiawase-nuri (a type of lacquerware) square tray. There is no box, but I think the condition is not bad. There are some minor scratches and a few small marks (see image 3). I am selling it to organize my household items. I hope it will be loved by someone! No comment needed, instant purchase is OK! Kakiawase-nuri is a simple lacquer technique that brings out the wood grain. It involves applying a mixture of persimmon tannin and bengara (red iron oxide) to the base wood, and then applying a single coat of transparent lacquer. It has a simple, rustic charm that makes the most of the wood grain, and is often used for tea ceremony utensils such as bowls, confectionery containers, and trays. Features: Because the base is not thickly coated, the wood grain can be felt, and it has a simple and refined texture. How to apply: It is characterized by applying a mixture of persimmon tannin and bengara, and then applying transparent lacquer (transparent or black lacquer) once. Uses: Often used for tea ceremony utensils such as bowls, individual trays, confectionery containers, and natsume (tea caddies).
