Wajima-nuri lacquerware 

Of all traditional Japanese lacquerware, that made in Wajima City, Ishikawa, is famous for its special combination of fine decoration with the strength to endure many years of use. Over 20 different processes go into the making of a single piece, each handled by its own specialist artisan. Unique techniques for reinforcement and for delicate golf leaf and powder ornamentation are the hallmarks of a lacquer tradition much loved both for its beauty and its practicality.
