Thank you for viewing! ^_^ This is a set of 5 individual plates featuring the Nanten (Japanese sacred bamboo) pattern, made with Sendai's traditional craft, "Tamamushi-nuri" (jewel beetle lacquerware). Tamamushi-nuri is a high-quality lacquerware created at the Sendai National Industrial Research Institute. It produces an elegant luster, like the wings of a jewel beetle, by layering highly transparent lacquer and silver powder. The Nanten pattern is considered auspicious, as it is associated with "turning away hardship." These plates are perfect for everyday use, as well as for celebrations and gifts. ―――――――――― ◆ Size: Approximately 15cm in diameter (5.0 sun) ◆ Material: Wood, lacquered ◆ Condition: New, unused (with box) ◆ Production Area: Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan ―――――――――― Although new and unused, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are overly sensitive, as these items have been stored at home.
