Caring for Your Japanese Lacquerware
Japanese lacquerware is a timeless art form that combines beauty, tradition, and delicate craftsmanship. To preserve its elegance and ensure its longevity, please follow these care instructions:
Handling:
- Handle gently and avoid dropping or striking against hard surfaces.
- Avoid stacking multiple lacquerware pieces directly on top of each other.
Cleaning:
- Wash gently with lukewarm water and a soft sponge.
- Do not use dishwashers, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads.
- Dry immediately with a soft cloth after washing.
Storage:
- Keep away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extremely dry conditions.
- Avoid storing near heaters, air conditioners, or strong lighting.
- Store in a soft cloth or cushioned box when not in use.
Additional Tips:
- Do not pour boiling liquids directly into lacquerware.
- Avoid using in microwaves or ovens.
- Regular use and gentle handling help maintain the natural luster of the lacquer.
Your lacquerware is a work of art—treat it with care, and it will bring beauty and joy for generations to come. By using and gently wiping your lacquerware daily, you can enjoy watching it transform over time into a more lustrous and elegant finish, different from when it was brand new.
