In lacquerware, it is said that "three years for spatula application, three months for brush application." Spatula application requires more skill than brush application. Lacquerware is very profound, not only in painting but also in decoration. Available for sale as individual pieces (black lacquer and genuine vermilion lacquer) and as a set. Both were taken out of their bags for photography. The bamboo blind fits perfectly, but it's a bit tight, and since it's handmade, there may be some individual differences. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or if you are looking for a perfect product, as it is stored by an amateur. Please check the condition in the photos. I often travel for work, so shipping may be delayed. It's best to contact me beforehand to avoid any inconvenience. Also listed on other sites. Please understand that I may cancel or remove the item if it sells elsewhere first.
