These Echizen lacquerware teacup coasters are beautifully designed in a plum blossom motif and coated with a lacquered technique called tame-nuri.
Tame-nuri is a lacquer coating technique where the red color can be seen through the translucent lacquer by applying a coat of translucent black lacquer on top of a middle coat of red lacquer.
Each coaster is crafted in the shape of the auspicious motif of a plum blossom in full bloom. The five petals of the plum blossoms are carefully layered next to each other and are neatly shaped on the backside as well with all edges smooth and rounded. The curvatures of the pedals highlight the lustrous shine of the Tame-nuri.
These coasters have a refined and elegant look and are wonderful to use when entertaining guests. Kumidashi tea cups with a wider frontage work well with these teacup coasters. This set includes fice coasters so you may use them for a gathering of up to five people.

Crafts
Echizen lacquerware originated around the city of Sabae in Fukui Prefecture, in the northern part of Japan. With a history going back more than 1,500 years, it is known for its subdued luster and elegant beauty. It is produced by experienced artisans, each specializing in one step of the production process.
Along with the changing lifestyles of Japanese people and market needs, creators of Echizen lacquerware have developed diversified products and created technology for mass production. Today, more than 80% of the lacquerware for domestic food industry and business use comes from Echizen. This is a region that is not only home to centuries of tradition, but also reinventing itself through innovation.

Coasters
Coasters not only prevent condensation and drips from damaging wooden surfaces but also add atmosphere and charm to a dining or coffee table. Choose from various materials and styles, including uniquely Japanese tatami, vivacious ceramic, and rich lacquerware, to perfectly complement your aesthetic and decor.
Lacquerware
Japanese lacquerware, also called shikki in Japanese, is a proud handicraft with a long history dating back to 5,000 BCE, and traditional methods are still followed today. Durable, light, antibacterial, and robust enough to endure for more than one hundred years, Japanese lacquerware is not only beautiful, but also highly functional.
In addition to the fine Japanese lacquerware found in antique and vintage pieces, there is also contemporary Japanese lacquerware suitable for modern life made by artisans who continue to improve their skills and pass on tradition today.
