In the 6th century, a lacquer craftsman who was ordered by the emperor to repaint his crown presented black lacquered tableware, and the emperor was so impressed by its luster that he encouraged its production, which marked the beginning of Echizen lacquerware. A characteristic of the region is that the woodturning is done by sawing the wood vertically. The finishing technique is called hana-nuri, where the final lacquer is applied in a way that prevents brush marks and dust from adhering, and then it is dried in that state. Echizen lacquerware is designated as a traditional craft by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. Even though it's a lacquered bowl, it's easy to care for.
