Japanese Tsugaru Tataki-Nuri Lacquer Stand. This cosmetic stand is decorated in what is called the "tapped lacquer" technique. The decoration comes about through a very tedious and elaborate process as follows: a shikake-bera or hand-held applicator is used to dispense an uneven or dappled coat of lacquer; next yellow lacquer is applied over the entire piece after which red and green lacquer are applied in broad patches; then the piece is sanded and polished which ultimately wears do ...click for details
