Tsugaru-nuri is a lacquer style from the northern tip of Japan's main island. With a certain deep tranquility that tells of the uncompromising attitude that produced these pieces. Nanako-nuri is based on the traditional kara-nuri lacquer style, and given a twist with designs suited to modern living spaces. In this high-level process, seeds are used to make the small circles in the lacquer. The pattern is said to resemble fish roe ("nanako"), and so this style of lacquering is sometimes called "nanako-nuri" ("nanako lacquer"). A speckled pattern is worked into the lacquer, then after it dries a check pattern is applied in colored lacquer. The piece is complete after repeated application of dotted patterns followed by drying and polishing.
