Plum blossoms have been a favorite flower in Japan for a long time, and are a motif often used in kimonos and tableware. The plum blossoms are considered to be auspicious, as they are the first to bloom as soon as the cold winter has passed, making people feel happy and announcing the beginning of the new season.
"Maki-e" is a lacquerware decoration technique in which design is drawn in lacquer, over which gold, silver, or other metal powder is sprinkled while the lacquer is wet.
It can be used to hold delicacies, condiments, and accessories, making it an eye-catching item for your table.
