Features of Wajima-nuri (Wajima Lacquerware)
Wajima-nuri is a high-quality lacquerware produced in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and is one of Japan’s most renowned traditional crafts.

1. Durable and Long-lasting
Wajima-nuri undergoes more than 100 meticulous processes from the preparation of the wooden base to the final lacquer coating. In particular, the undercoat, made by mixing lacquer with diatomaceous earth, enhances its strength, making it resistant to cracks and highly durable.

2. Beautiful Lacquered Gloss
Through multiple layers of lacquer application and careful polishing by skilled artisans, Wajima-nuri achieves a deep and elegant gloss. The simple beauty of black and vermilion colors is one of its main attractions.

3. Exquisite Decorations: Maki-e and Chinkin
Intricate and elegant designs are created using techniques such as Maki-e, where gold or silver powder is sprinkled onto the lacquer surface, and Chinkin, where patterns are carved into the lacquer and then filled with gold leaf.

4. High Practicality
In addition to its aesthetic beauty, Wajima-nuri is water-resistant, heat-resistant, and lightweight, making it suitable for everyday use.

Conclusion
Wajima-nuri is a traditional craft that combines strength and beauty, making it a lacquerware that can be used and cherished for many years. The artistry and craftsmanship of skilled artisans further enhance its value and popularity.
