Zohiko Kyoto Round Tray

Lacquerware is a craftwork unique to the East that has been developed in lacquer producing countries such as Japan, China, Korea and Southeast Asia. Especially, Japanese lacquerware gained worldwide reputation at an early stage, and the lacquerware became known as “japan” collectively. Kyoto-style lacquerware has helped develop Japanese lacquerware since the Heian Period (794–1185) and is made with only the best materials as well as with highly-skilled techniques. Not to mention its strength and robust nature of artwork, the lacquerware is characterized by its beautiful flat, curved surfaces and corners and refined, elegant decoration.
