02 Japan "zen"　膳　JAPAN antique vintage tableware lacquerware try

This is a red tray made by Murakami wood carving.
Carved with peonies and bird patterns.
It looks similar to Murakami City's bird, the ``hawk-eagles,'' but it is not certain because the design existed before it was designated as the city's bird.
Even though the designs are similar, there are slight differences because they are hand-carved, and it seems that each carver is carving the bird they have in mind.
Also, the more you use Tsuishu, the more gloss it becomes, and the vermilion color changes to a deeper color.
This is a product that I would like you to cultivate.

【Murakami Kibori Tsuishu】
Murakami Kibori Tsuishu is a traditional craft made in Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture.
Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture has been a natural lacquer mountain since the Heian period.
The lacquer technique was introduced by lacquer workers who came from Kyoto to repair the castle, and with the encouragement of the feudal lord, it was started by the samurai.

The kanji character for tsui in tsuishu means to paint over and over again. It is a lacquerware that incorporates a unique technique in which delicate carvings are applied to the wood base and lacquer is applied many times to finish it.
By engraving finely on the wooden base, the design becomes more attractive. According to its characteristics, it is finished in a work with a three-dimensional effect.

In addition, by polishing the lacquer that has been applied in multiple layers, various shades of shades are created, further enhancing the sculpture. It features a calm texture, and the more you use it, the more lustrous it becomes and the more tasteful it becomes.

There are 6 different techniques for Murakami Kibori Tsuishu.
Tsuishu, Tsuikoku, Shutame-nuri, Irourushi-nuri, Kinmanuri, and Sansai-bori.
