Rare Lacquerware, Specially Selected TUIZHU, Clip-On Earrings Individual Earring Size: 2 x 1.7 cm Origin: Made in Japan Murakami TUIZHU: The Murakami region in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, is renowned for its TUIZHU lacquerware. Its origins date back six hundred years to the construction of temple architecture, which led to the introduction of lacquerware techniques and craftsmanship. For centuries, successive lords deliberately fostered the lacquerware industry, leading to a flourishing local lacquer tree cultivation. Starting from 260 years ago, the current forms of wooden TUIZHU and TUIHEI lacquerware emerged. Techniques such as "Cun Xing" (存星) were introduced, combined with Chinese-style patterns, and further enhanced by some of the carving techniques from Kamakura lacquerware, forming today's Murakami TUIZHU. Beyond the mainstream TUIZHU and TUIHEI, other finishes like Zhuliu (朱溜塗), Caiqi (彩漆塗), Jinmo (金磨塗), and Sancai Diao (三彩彫) have also been preserved, establishing Murakami TUIZHU as a unique classical style of Japanese lacquerware. This craft uses meticulous and elegant carving techniques to depict motifs of flowers, birds, and landscapes. Combining highly detailed craftsmanship in carving and lacquering, Murakami TUIZHU differs from typical glossy finishes. Its unique matte finishing process gives the lacquerware a subdued and simple aesthetic, achievable only with high-quality natural lacquer. - 《Lei Wen Yin Antique House's Ultimate Shopping Guide》 🌩️ All products listed for sale are "in stock in Taiwan."

If there is any delay in shipping due to work, store closures, etc., you will be notified separately. 🌩️ Used and pre-owned items do not come with a warranty. While we clean and maintain items to the best of our ability without altering their original condition during inspection, any repairs or modifications will be stated in the description. Items will be re-inspected before shipping to ensure they match the descriptions online. 🌩️ Vintage clothing is steamed, deodorized, and disinfected with a high-temperature garment steamer. However, it is recommended that you clean the items yourself after receiving them before wearing. Leather goods may be treated with mold removers, saddle soap, mink oil, carnauba wax, or waterproofing sprays depending on their condition. Please refer to the description for specific details. 🌩️ Please note that vintage antiques and pre-owned items are not new. They may have unique imperfections, signs of wear, age-related deterioration, or malfunctions. Please confirm the condition of the item before placing an order to avoid any disputes or unpleasant shopping experiences. 🌩️ If you have specific requirements or concerns about the item's condition, please send us a message for inquiries and real-time communication. We are happy to provide additional information and photos to help you make a wise and enjoyable purchase decision based on your needs and budget. 🌩️ Please carefully read the product description and view the photos before purchasing to understand any potential flaws, signs of use, or repairs. Color variations may occur between photos and the actual item due to differences in shooting environments and display devices. Please order with caution. If you are concerned about this, we recommend visiting our physical store for in-person viewing. 🌩️ Due to fluctuations in pricing within the vintage market, value is often determined by supply and demand, pricing strategies of different shops, or marketing tactics. When selecting items, please focus on the actual condition, uniqueness, rarity, historical significance, brand reputation, and personal preference. Consider the item's condition, expected value, and actual usage or collection status carefully before purchasing. 🌩️ Pricing is primarily based on purchase and operational costs. Understanding that costs are ultimately passed on to the customer, our policy is to avoid excessive marketing expenses and not to engage in profiteering. Our core values are providing excellent service quality and reasonable prices, operating with integrity and professionalism. Therefore, if you still find the price too high, it may be due to the platform's significant commission fees (a bright smile). You might consider how to "indirectly contact" us, as there may be room for negotiation. 🌩️ We accept unconditional returns (as pre-owned and vintage items are unique, exchanges for other items may involve price differences, with the buyer covering round-trip shipping). Returns are handled according to consumer protection laws, adhering to the seven-day appreciation period. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Upon return, the item will be inspected. If any damage, soiling, or malfunction is found that differs from the auction description and photos, proof will be presented, and we will seek compensation for restoration or depreciation in value (not refurbishment costs, which are distinct) as per Article 259, Clause 6 of the Civil Code ("If the item to be returned is damaged, lost, or cannot be returned for other reasons, its value shall be compensated."). We strongly recommend keeping a complete unboxing video; we appreciate transparency. 🌩️ If someone repeatedly buys and returns items, increasing our workload, after approximately two or three instances, we will, depending on the severity, place you on a blacklist. This is a reciprocal system. If you intentionally exploit regulations to our detriment and increase our workload, we will naturally refuse to do business with you; it's only fair. We will inform you of the reason before blocking, unlike an ex who blocks without a word after a breakup. 🌩️ Our business culture is straightforward, but we do not tolerate problematic customers. We are well-versed in regulations and advise you to consider whether you enjoy long reading comprehension exercises and textual analysis before acting out (we certainly do). We will prove that being straightforward and holding grudges are not mutually exclusive; Lannisters always pay their debts. 🌩️ Thank you for your support, cooperation, and understanding. We hope you feel satisfied and secure while browsing for antiques and look forward to providing you with a unique and fulfilling shopping experience, allowing you to fully appreciate the charm and joy of collecting vintage items.
