Shikki (漆器) - Japanese laquer ware


The lacquerware (Shikki) is Japan's craftwork, and it is said that it has been in use for more than 9, 000 years.
Ancient Japanese people considered the red as the root of the life, and the black as a color representing the space, so they used the lacquer for a religious service tool.
Subsequently, it was used widely in daily life for furniture and tableware because of its elegance and the softness of the feel.
