The colours used in the world of lacquerware differ from the use of colours in other industries and have a unique colour expression. Lacquerware colours are expressed by applying several layers of different colours. Vermilion, for example, reflects the jet black beneath it, giving it a unique deep colour. The human eye tries to see the deepest and innermost colours, which is why lacquerware is described as having deep colours.

Available in two sizes: small and large.
