The Sen-suji (thousand-line) technique, a type of decorative turning, unique to a master woodworker, shines. ◆ Unlike pottery, there's no worry of breaking, and they are light and non-slip, making them ideal for children, the elderly, and caregiving use. Sen-suji is a decorative turning method where a blade called a "kanna" (plane) is applied to the wood while it's being rotated on a lathe, creating fine, uniform lines. This technique requires the woodworker to use a single plane while rotating the lathe, resulting in extremely precise and uniform lines. Sen-suji enhances the beauty of the wood, provides a non-slip effect, and has a comfortable feel in the hand. --------------------------------------------------- Traditional Craft, Yamanaka Lacquerware, Wooden Lacquerware, Lacquer Coating, Lathe, Rokuro, Children's Tableware, Elderly Tableware, Conference Tableware, Nursing Care Supplies
