    Joboji lacquerware

    Joboji lacquerware began when the monks of Tendaiji invited craftsmen from Kyoto to make fixtures for use at the temple, and has inherited over 1,200 years of history, with Tendaiji culture overlapping. They are made using locally produced lacquer, which boasts the highest quality and quantity in Japan, using a base method called the ``Makiji method.'' It is a solid base with unparalleled strength and does not use water, and is characterized by its simplicity and practicality, with no unnecessary colors or patterns.
