This small original Bajyo-hai (馬上盃 Sake cup used while riding a horse) by master Junichi Hakose is one good example to see his great combination of base urushi (lacquer) work and maki-e work in his original elegant form. The stem is colored brownish with clear urushi on top leaving the texture of wood to appear. Then the upper portion is finished in a traditional way in black to have deep reflections. The makie work; "Hana-Komon" meaning "Small design pattern of flowers" are elegantly placed and glitters such like fireworks in the sky. If you look inside of the cup there is a gorgeous reflection of warm orange colored gold with the techniques using togidashi-maki-e (burnished maki-e, urushi lacquer is applied over the sprinkles of gold and then polished again to surface the gold), which takes time and hand works to create. Master Junichi Hokose's work is simply superb with every details being thoroughly taken care of.

This small but not typical style sake cup is sure to satisfy your love to Japanese work of art in lacquerware, and bring you master Hakose's world of elegance.

< Guide >

Our fine Japanese lacquerwares are basically made of genuine natural wood and natural urushi lacquer. The Worst things to the fine lacquerwares are Drying and giving Heat Shocks.

As an urushi lacquer's natural characteristics, it hardens most under humidity of 70-80% (RH) and a temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius (68-77°F). Therefore, humidity is good for urushi lacquer, by nature, and for the base wood as well.

Just keeping the fine Japanese lacquerware in a dry cupboard all through a year is not what you want to do. Periodic Use is the Best Care for your fine Japanese lacquerware since the Moisture it gives to both the lacquer and the wood maintains and extends the quality and the life of both.

Japanese natural urushi lacquerware will literary shine more after your use, due to the moisture given, and the repeated use and wiping with a soft cloth. This is proof of the natural urushi lacquer product and authenticity. It does not happen with a chemical product.

Please be a little careful not to scratch fine lacquerwares with rough ceramics or metals, urushi lacquer coatings are tough but not hard as them. When putting them away, please try to keep your fine Japanese lacquerware from the direct sunlight. Urushi lacquer is vulnerable to UV rays.

< Care Instructions for Genuine Lacquerware >

Please Do NOT use the lacquerware in a microwave oven.

Please Do NOT use the lacquerware in a dishwasher and dryer.

Please Do NOT leave the lacquerware in a refrigerator for a long time. A couple of hours is OK.

Please Do NOT expose the lacquerware in the direct sunlight for a long time.

An example indicator for the acceptable duration is that your exposed skin can accept.

The reason is that the UV rays will degrade the urushi lacquer coating from its structure.

Please wash by hand using lukewarm water with a soft sponge using liquid mild detergents.
Please avoid using a scrub sponge or hard sponge that might scratch the surface.

Please wipe with a dry soft cloth after rinse.

Please do not stack lacquerwares on/under coarse or rough ceramics, it will damage the surface.

Please avoid using metal silverware directly on them.

* This instruction is not intended for antique or collectible fine Japanese lacquerware. They should be treated specially since they may have small cracks in the lacquer coatings that permeate through to the core wood.
