Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, which was damaged by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, is famous for its lacquerware.
The lacquerware of Wajima City is called ”Wajima lacquerware” and is designated as a national important intangible cultural property.
According to the Wajima lacquerware association, the earthquake caused a fire and the Wajima lacquer shop was also burnt down.
Machines and tools were also destroyed, and most of the craftsmen were affected.
According to the association, there are 120 steps involved in making Wajima-nuri, and many craftsmen work together to make it.
A member of the union said, ``Some craftsmen have passed away, so we don’t know when we will be able to start production.’’
I would like to think of various ways to prevent any craftsmen from quitting.”
