A beautiful set of various dishes made from Aomori Prefecture's Hiba wood, featuring a black base with red berries and green leaves. The hand-painted design, unusual for Tsugaru-nuri lacquerware, is called "Shofuku Nantenmon" (Lucky Nanten Pattern). *This symbolizes turning misfortune into good fortune. This is a modern masterpiece, with Shiro Murata handling the Nanten (Heavenly South) painting and Shogo Washima handling the Togidashi (burnishing) and Roiro (polished black) finish. This was specially made and is a very rare item. It has been stored unused in a well-ventilated, dark place, so although it is old, it is in excellent condition. The box shows signs of aging, but is in relatively good condition. 11cm (length) x 11cm (width) 10.4cm (height) Height of each dish: 2cm Thank you for viewing.
