Kamakura-bori Lacquerware Kamakura-bori is a traditional Japanese craft that originated in the Kamakura period (13th century). Skilled artisans hand-carve patterns into the wooden base and apply multiple layers of natural lacquer. This meticulous process creates a deep relief texture and a warm, glossy finish. Typical motifs include flowers, birds, and geometric designs, combining both practicality and artistic beauty. This piece beautifully showcases the strong carving and elegant gloss characteristic of authentic Kamakura-bori. It can be appreciated both as a functional utensil and as a decorative work of Japanese art. Condition: Used item with scratches and signs of wear. Please check the photos carefully for details.
