[Characteristics of Yamanaka Wooden Lacquerware]
- Yamanaka excels in lathe turning, a process in which plain wood is rotated and hollowed out using a special blade called a plane. They specialize in the production of round objects such as bowls, individual plates, and tea trays. In particular, 80 to 90 percent of the wood for tea ceremony utensils such as tea caddies is milled in the Yamanaka region nationwide.
Yamanaka's distinctive lacquerware is characterized by the use of a plane to create a unique design, known as sujigi (striking). There are approximately 50 variations, including itome (striking), rokuro (striking), biri (striking), hiramizuji (striking), inaho (striking), and tsuka (striking).
Yamanaka lacquerware, blessed with an abundance of wood materials, uses zelkova, cherry, and oak to create a wide variety of vessels, large and small, through the priming, lacquering, and maki-e (lacquering) processes depending on the intended use, resulting in beautifully lustrous lacquerware. Naturally, most of the production process is handmade, and the time required from drying the raw wood to completion can take up to a year or more.
