Lacquerware has a long history. It seems to have started about 9000 years ago in Jomon era Japan.
Familiarity with lacquerware is important in our understanding of Japanese traditional crafts.

When the Meiji government was established in 1868, metalworkers were most affected by this change.
Forbidden from producing weaponry,they turned to producing a variety of wonderful metalworks.

Tea utensils

The tea ceremony is one of the most popular cultural traditions in Japan.
To this day it continues to have an impact on many things, such as art, architecture, food, and thought.

Sculpture

Sculpture called ’Okimono’ incorporates a great variety of motifs and materials. Mach of it holds a religious meaning, as in sculptures of the Buddha. On the other hand it can simply represent lovely things. Contemporary Okimono is popular too.

Bamboo

Bamboo is a common material that has been used inproduction of daily tools such as baskets and bows and arrows since olden times. However, in the early Showa era, bamboo crafts began to be regarded as an artform.

Others

Other Japanese antiques include things such as tableware, furniture, screens, hanging scrolls, and tools for religious ceremonies. As you admire these beautiful things, it is fun to think about olden times in Japan.
