Wajima Four-tiered Jubako(Bento box)
Wajima-nuri (輪島塗) is a type of Japanese lacquerware from Wajima, Ishikawa. Wajima-nuri represents a form and style of lacquerware which is distinct from other Japanese lacquerware. The main distinguishing feature of Wajima-nuri is the durable undercoating achieved by the applying multiple layers of urushi mixed with powdered diatomaceous earth (ji-no-ko) onto delicate zelkova wooden substrates.
On January 1, 2024, the Noto Peninsula earthquake dealt a major blow to Wajima-nuri, a traditional craft in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. "Wajima lacquerware" will decrease from now on.
