Kamakurabori Red Shell Canister

Kamakurabori is a specialty form of art and craft that originated from the city of Kamakura, Japan.

During the 12th century of the Chinese Sung dynasty few Chinese Buddhist monks traveled to Japan to spread their religion of Buddhism to the local Japanese. And with the Buddhist monks came with them wood carving and lacquer-work techniques. Kamakura artesian quickly learned this special technique and found a niche in the area of utensils such as trays used domestically in the kitchen, and today Kamakurabori became a specialty product for the city.
