Thank you for viewing. Koichi Murakami Wood Carving Tishu, a set of 5 vermilion-lacquered peony arabesque tea trays. Delicate carvings using only natural lacquer. After the matte finish of the Tishu process, the technique involves applying several coats of accumulated lacquer (tame-urushi) and carefully polishing to finish. Over time, the black on the surface will become translucent, changing to a beautiful amber color. Made of lightweight, durable wood such as Japanese magnolia, which is less prone to cracking or warping. These lacquerware items become more lustrous and flavorful with use. Size: Diameter 12cm x Height 2cm The original box has some stains due to long-term storage, so please understand this before purchasing. Shipping via Rakuraku Mercari.
