Exquisite Wajima Lacquerware by Ōmukai Kōshūdō – Set of 5 Meimei Plates & 5 Tea Saucers with Original Signed Box and Leaflet

Every piece reflects the hallmark elegance of Wajima-nuri, renowned for its unparalleled durability, depth of color, and centuries-old technique passed down through generations of master artisans.
