Important Note on Fuki-Urushi Lacquerware
This product is finished using the fuki-urushi technique, a process where layers of translucent lacquer are repeatedly applied and wiped away to accentuate the natural beauty of the wood grain beneath. Because of this natural process, the grain pattern, color depth, and texture of each piece will vary from the photos shown. Please embrace these natural variations as a hallmark of authentic, handmade woodenware.
