Synopsis
Few of the traditional Japanese arts are a readily appreciated as Japanese lacquer. The beauty of lacquer objects most of which were made for specific purposes, may be admitted for its own sake, even when the objects are encountered in a context remote from that for which they were originally intended. Lacquer is a living art in contemporary Japan, providing functional bowls, trays, and containers of familiar traditional shapes for daily use as well as exquisitely formed and decorated objects which are unique works of art.
