It is characterized by its robust base, created using diatomaceous earth ("Jinoko"), and the "Nunogise" technique, which reinforces vulnerable areas with linen. The elaborate decorations, often featuring gold or silver leaf, are a hallmark of this esteemed craft. Wajima-nuri items are used for both daily tableware and special occasions, such as weddings and New Year celebrations
