lacquerware

After more than 50 years of use, the shine may fade, chips may appear, and the lacquer may discolor, change color, or peel. Repainting or applying a polished finish using rubbed lacquer will make it more durable and allow you to use it for a longer time.

Pottery

If your precious pottery breaks, don't try to repair it with super glue or anything like that; instead, use lacquer to repair it.
If there are no broken pieces, repairs using kintsugi (gold repair) are possible if the diameter is 5mm or less.
