Turtle Shell Patterned Spice Container With Spoon

This simple wooden spice or condiment container is made of Yamanaka lacquerware. The dark brown color and the turtle shell-shaped wood grain on the sides give it a traditional look.

Comes with a small spoon for easy use. There is a cutout on the rim so that the lid can be closed with the spoon inserted.

It is suitable for keeping spices such as "Shichimi Togarashi(pepper)" and mustard.

Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use or when entertaining guests. 

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.
