They are made of paulownia wood and lacquered.
Actually I was reluctant to buy them, because of the price. However, I
really loved them and the shop manager said the lacquer can be reapplied, if it
wears off and the belt can be changed at any time. After hearing this I
decided to buy them. I think my decision was right. It's worth it.
The size is a little bit big for me, so that my husband can put them on
too. They are very light and comfortable. We usually use them in our flat
’s entrance. We sometimes put them on when we go to a convenience store
nearby.
I didn’t like such Japanese style things when I was younger, but now I
really love them.
I have a Wajima lacquered bowl and use it almost everyday. It’s very
useful and beautiful.
By the way Wajima is the name of a city which is in Ishikawa and is very
famous for Wajima-nuri (Japanese lacquer).
A big earthquake occurred there on 25th March and it inflicted huge damage
on the houses and citizens. Some public offices and companies collected
contributions for them, but I heard it isn
’t enough to help them so I’ll contribute to it again as soon as possible
and buy some Wajima-nuri bowls.
