This set of five Japanese teacup coasters has a pattern that resembles a spinning top. It features brightly colored lines and a sense of playfulness in the traditional technique of Yamanaka lacquerware. A spinning top is a good omen in Japan, and this lively design is perfect for New Year's and other festive occasions.
It uses the technique called fuki-urushi (wipe-lacquer). The black lacquer was painted and wiped over and over so that the natural wood color underneath the lacquer remains.
Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use, or when entertaining guests. Pair this with any teacups from our collection to create a traditional and authentic atmosphere for your tea time.

Crafts
Yamanaka lacquerware, also known as Yamanaka shikki, is a kind of lacquerware produced in the Yamanaka Onsen district of Kaga, Ishikawa Prefecture. This lacquerware is unique in that it blends wood grain's natural elegance 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 incorporates a modern sense of design while inheriting a tradition that has lasted for 400 years.

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.
