Mihashi - Red Shunkei - 2 Tier Round Lunch Box

SKU: TSHS21102 W136 D136 H105

€230

These items are made using the traditional Hida Shunkei lacquerware technique from Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. Shunkei lacquerware articles are coated with clear lacquer to bring out the beauty of the wood. The transparency of the lacquer increases over time, allowing for the wood grain to stand out more, while the colours gradually become more subdued. The two colouring variations of Shunkei are produced by dyeing white Kiso hinoki cypress wood in yellow or red before the lacquer is applied. In contrast to statelier lacquerware, the softness and lightness of the material form the true essence of Hida Shunkei.

Quantity:

Lacquerware is an ancient Japanese craft where lacquer (urushi) is applied in multiple layers to materials like wood, bamboo, and paper to increase the strength and water resistance of the material. The base substance is the sap obtained from the trunk of the urushi tree, which is then purified, refined, and mixed with different pigments. Thanks to its excellent water resistance and heat retention properties combined with the beauty of lacquer, it has long been a popular material for creating works of art and items for daily use.

HANDLING

Wash lacquerware using a mild soap, as you would do with glassware or ceramics. Please avoid using aggressive detergents, polishing sponges, or scrubbers; use a soft sponge or cloth instead. After washing, we recom mend that you use a soft dishcloth to remove any moisture immediately. Wiping your lacquerware carefully polishes the surface and adds a shine that deepens gradually. Be careful not to stack lacquerware dishes together with ceramics and other hard-surfaced products when washing or storing to avoid scratches. Lacquerware does not respond well to sudden dryness, temperature changes, and UV-rays. Do not place your dishes under direct sunlight for many hours, and avoid placing them in the refrigerator,dishwasher,microwave,or oven. Leaving lacquerware dishes soaked in water or suddenly pouring hot water into them may cause peeling of the coating, discoloration, and deformed wood.

MAINTENANCE

Regarding new Shunkei-wares, oil contained in the lacquer may bleed over on the surface. It can be washed out, so there the dishes can be used normally. Don't worry; this will subside in about one year after lacquer application.
