Aizu lacquerware is a traditional lacquerware with a history of over 400 years in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, and is considered one of Japan's three major lacquerware traditions. It is characterized by its ornate decorations, such as the "kinmushikui-nuri" (gold insect-eaten lacquer) technique, and its sturdy, robust texture that makes it suitable for everyday use.
