About the Production Area: Aizu Lacquerware
The origins of Aizu lacquerware trace back to the Muromachi period, when the cultivation of lacquer trees was encouraged. By the mid-Edo period, Aizu lacquerware gained official approval from the shogunate for overseas export.
Famous examples of Aizu craftsmanship include chopsticks featuring the Aizu-e design, inspired by motifs of pine, bamboo, and plum; tsuishu lacquer chopsticks with carved patterns; and the distinctive kanemushi-nuri technique, characterized by its unique spotted pattern.
