[Characteristics of Yamanaka Wooden Lacquerware]
- Yamanaka excels in lathe turning, a technique in which a plain piece of wood is rotated and hollowed out using a special blade called a plane, and 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 used for tea ceremony utensils, such as tea caddies, is milled in the Yamanaka region nationwide.
- Yamanaka's distinctive sujihiki technique, in which a plane is used to create a pattern on the wood, creating a unique design. There are approximately 50 different patterns, including itome, rokuro, biri, hiramizuji, inaho, and tsuka.
Yamanaka lacquerware, blessed with an abundance of wood materials such as keyaki (keyaki), cherry, and oak, is used to create a variety of vessels, large and small, through the various processes of priming, lacquering, and maki-e (lacquering) depending on the intended use, resulting in beautifully lustrous lacquerware. Naturally, most of the production process is handmade, so it can take more than a year from drying the raw wood to completion.
