Owls are considered auspicious birds the world over! Not only in Japan, but also overseas, they are known as "the bird of learning and intelligence (Greek mythology)," "a wise bird with foresight (Aesop's Fables)," "a symbol of wisdom and trust" in the West, and "the god of good fortune" in Korea. Every household has an owl-shaped money box, making them a symbol of good fortune, similar to the Japanese "beckoning cat." Wakasa lacquerware originated when Matsuura Sanjuro, an official lacquerer for the Obama domain, was inspired by a type of Chinese lacquerware called Zonsei, and came up with the idea of ​​creating a design based on the ocean floor. The mid-to-late Edo period was the golden age of Wakasa lacquerware, and it is said that more than 200 different lacquering techniques were perfected, with the use of gold leaf-pressing and polishing techniques (blue shell and eggshell), mother-of-pearl inlay, and maki-e techniques being combined. *Raden: The shiny part on the inside of a shell is cut into the shape of flowers and birds, polished, and then pasted onto the surface of lacquerware, etc., as decoration. *Maki-e: A picture is drawn with lacquer, and before it dries, gold or silver powder is applied, and then polished to create a glossy finish.
