Wajima-nuri (Wajima Lacquerware) Inachu Wajima-nuri Round Tray Diameter: Approximately 30 cm Height: Approximately 2 cm Inachu is a Wajima-nuri lacquerware shop with a history of over 90 years. In 1968, their products were used by Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress, and they received an imperial viewing in Wajima. In addition, at the 2008 Toyako Summit, the craftsmen of the Inachu Maki-e workshop of Wajima-nuri were in charge of reproducing the most important decorative designs and producing the iridescent beetle wing sections of the Tamamushi-no-zushi (a miniature Buddhist shrine). This is from my mother's collection. It has never been used and has been stored in its box in a sideboard drawer. As the collection has grown, I am selling it due to a renovation.
