Authentic Japanese Wajima Nuri Wall Art 24K Gold Leaf Bamboo Lacquer

🎋 Authentic 1950s Japanese Wajima-Nuri Lacquer Wall Art – 24K Gold Frame

This elegant mid-century Japanese wall artwork is a genuine Wajima-nuri lacquer panel from the 1950s, featuring a beautifully hand-painted red bamboo motif set against a deep black lacquer background.

The artwork is mounted in its original 24K gold leaf accented frame and comes with the original storage box (box in fair vintage condition). Sourced directly from a Japanese government auction, this is an authentic piece of traditional craftsmanship — not a reproduction.

The striking contrast of vivid red bamboo over glossy black lacquer reflects classic Japanese aesthetics: strength, resilience, and refined simplicity.

🪵 About Wajima-Nuri
Wajima-nuri (輪島塗) is one of Japan’s most prestigious lacquerware traditions, originating in Ishikawa Prefecture. Known for both beauty and exceptional durability, authentic Wajima lacquer undergoes over 100 careful production stages.

Traditional techniques include:

• Base reinforcement using locally sourced diatomaceous earth (jinoko)
• Use of high-quality natural urushi lacquer
• Multiple layering and polishing stages
• Skilled hand-finishing passed down through generations

Because of this complex process, genuine vintage Wajima wall panels are increasingly rare and highly collectible.
