Wajima lacquerware, known as Wajima-nuri in Japan, is a distinct form of traditional lacquerware crafted in the city of Wajima, Ishikawa prefecture. Renowned for its exceptional beauty and durability, Wajima lacquerware stands out due to its unique technique of layering multiple coats of urushi (lacquer) mixed with powdered diatomaceous earth, known as jinoko. This special undercoating, applied meticulously onto delicate zelkova wooden substrates, not only enhances the longevity of the lacquerware but also gives it a distinct luster and resilience. With its exquisite craftsmanship and use of locally sourced materials, Wajima lacquerware continues to be cherished as a treasured Japanese art form.
When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.

Located in Amsterdam, NL
Beautiful, large two-panel byôbu (room divider) with a serene painting of red-leaved bamboo and rocks on an oxidized silver leaf background. Silver leaf continuously undergoes the process of oxidation, which creates a beautiful aged patina.

Why would people plant a lot of bamboos?
The shade of a single culm is also beautiful.
In the autumn night it rocks on the wind,
And the fresh sound echoes in my dream.
