Q.Is tableware with a wipe-lacquer finish safe for children as young as 1 year old to use?
A. Yes, you can use it without any problems.
The main body is carved from solid wood, and the finishing lacquer is the sap of the Urushi tree, both of which are natural materials. Please use it with confidence.
Traditionally, lacquerware and unglazed pottery are used for tableware for the “Okuizome,” which is held 100 to 120 days after birth. Even with lacquerware, although there are differences in the technique of applying lacquer and fukiurushi, the same lacquer is used to finish the lacquer, so the materials used are also the same.
Lacquerware is light and unlike ceramics, it is hard to break, so there are many customers who love children and elderly people. It is soft to the touch and highly recommended.
