Japanese lacquerware, or shikki, is admired for its beautiful luster and smooth texture. Lacquerware feels completely different from ceramics or glass, and that tactile quality is part of its appeal. However, many first-time owners worry that high-end crafts must be difficult to handle, or that the wrong maintenance might ruin their new piece. Especially for those living overseas or handling lacquerware for the first time, getting the initial care right is important.<\/p>\n
