Description

This set of Aizu Lacquerware spoon and fork is particularly suitable for enjoying various desserts, especially when consuming traditional Japanese wagashi "confectionaries."

Crafted through a delicate manufacturing process, this set features a soft glow and a fine touch, with textured plant patterns on the handles and gold foil embellishments adding sophistication.

The handle features a traditional Aizu-e pattern, a distinctive design of Aizu lacquerware. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted by skilled maki-e artists, ensuring unique craftsmanship. The painting of the famous combination of pine tree, bamboo and plum is considered an auspicious motif in Japan, bringing good luck and longevity.

Also, there are paintings of ceremonial arrows and spinning wheels, both considered as a signature motif of Aizu lacquerware. The Aizu-e process requires eight distinct stages to be fully completed, demanding a high level of skill from the craftsmen involved.

During the coloring process, a technique known as tame-nuri is also employed. Tame-nuri is a finishing technique that utilizes the transparent suki-urushi lacquer. By applying this clear, black-tinted lacquer over a red base coat, the edges appear red through the transparency while the corners accumulate a deeper color, creating a beautifully contrasting appearance. 

Each set of tableware comes with an exquisitely crafted Musubi Lab packaging box. The golden interior of the box further accentuates the elegance and sophistication of the tableware.

Suitable not only for personal daily use, it also makes an ideal gift for colleagues, friends, or family members. Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use or when entertaining guests.
