Shunkei Nuri (Lacquer ware):
Shunkei Nuri is from Hida Takayama, where located in Gifu Prefecture.
It is created using transparent lacquer on yellow finished or red
lacquerd finished wood, so that the natural wood grain can be seen
(similar to Kuroye Nuri in this respect). The name is derived
from the inventor who was active in Sakai during the reign of
the Emperor Go-Kameyama (1368-1392).
This method became popular in the
17th century in Takayama, Hida province. Many articles for use in
tea-drinking were manufactured using this technique.
