Kamo lacquerware is a traditional Japanese craft originating from Kamo City in Niigata Prefecture. Known for its intricate designs and vibrant colors, this lacquerware is made by applying layers of natural lacquer to wooden objects. The process involves careful craftsmanship, often incorporating techniques like maki-e, where gold or silver powder is sprinkled onto the wet lacquer to create decorative patterns. The history of Kamo lacquerware dates back to the Edo period, and it has been recognized for its durability and beauty. Today, artisans continue to produce Kamo lacquerware, preserving traditional methods while also innovating with modern designs to appeal to contemporary tastes.
