Aizu Lacquer Tea Coaster Caddy - set of 6

Aizu-nuri is lacquerware made in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture. Lacquerware flourished as a craft in this region thanks to the widespread planting of lacquer trees during the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the abundance of wood that is used as the base material, and the region's warm and humid climate that is suitable for the craft. Aizu lacquer ware has a tradition of over 600 years. Depending on how you handle it and how you care for it, you can use it for a long time. Do not wash the lacquer ware with boiling water, use a scrubbing brush, or soak it in hot water for a long time. If you wash it quickly, dry it with a soft cloth, and remove the cloudiness with a soft, dry cloth, the shine will not be impaired. Set of six coasters in beautiful condition.
