Since natural abalone shells are used, there may be individual differences in patterns and colors. Also, minute chips or cracks originating from the material may be present.
Each item is hand-lacquered in multiple layers. Therefore, slight unevenness or dust adhesion may be observed on the painted surface, but we hope you understand this as a unique characteristic of handmade works.
