From my mother-in-law's storage My father-in-law (who passed away a little over 10 years ago at the age of 98) majored in metallurgy in university. Due to his expertise, he didn't go to the war front and worked in the mining industry. He was once stationed in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture. About 65 years ago, my mother-in-law continued to practice the tea ceremony there. My husband says that after tea gatherings, peddlers from the production areas of Shunkei lacquerware and Wajima lacquerware would come. When the posting ended, my mother-in-law, perhaps thinking of gifts for her tea ceremony friends, seems to have purchased a considerable number of various Shunkei lacquerware items. Among the items stored away, there are several of the same kind. She returned to Tokyo and enjoyed entertaining guests in her own tea room. However, in her late 50s, she began caring for her mother in Kyushu, which lasted for about 15 years. When she returned after finishing the caregiving, she was too old and exhausted to resume, it seems. After my father-in-law passed away at 98, and shortly after, my mother-in-law passed away at 92. During the first cleanup of the in-law's house, my husband was still working, so we couldn't get to the storage room. But 10 years later, during the second cleanup, along with many tea ceremony utensils, these Shunkei lacquerware trays came out. We can't keep them in our Kansai apartment, so we are putting them up for sale one by one, hoping they will be used and appreciated by someone... They are all in beautiful condition. They are the ones with faint stripes appearing on the wood grain. Photos No. 4 and 5 show them stacked with the large tray that I listed subsequently.
