Hibiki Box with Dividers

This premium wooden box with dividers is handcrafted by artisans of Yamanaka Lacquerware, which is famous for the techniques that make the most of the grain of wood.

The technique of applying lacquer many times and wiping it off each time is called "wipe-lacquer". By doing so, lacquer ware is polished and finished in a glossy yet dignified beauty with a beautiful grain. By using high quality Japanese wood, you can feel the nature and enjoy the beauty of various wood grain patterns.

This box is finished with black lacquer, and the beautiful wood grain can be seen through under the black lacquer outside. Inside, the color and grain of the wood are kept as they are, and the appearance is closer to nature.

Perfect for serving appetizers or side dishes. With its partition, you can enjoy setting various small bowls or plates in it. You can also serve the dishes directly on it, which will look gorgeous and sophisticated.

In addition to food, you can also add small accessories to decorate your room.

Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka Shikki, is a lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen (hot spring) district of Kaga, Ishikawa prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends the natural elegance of the wood grain with the elegant maki-e technique of sprinkling gold, silver, or other colored powder onto a lacquer painting.

With its beautiful wood texture, delicate and robust Yamanaka Lacquerware is evolving day by day, incorporating a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.
