The "National Lacquerware Exhibition" will be held again this year.

This year's "National Lacquerware Exhibition" marks a milestone: the 60th edition.
Let's look back at the history of the lacquerware exhibition and, through an introduction to its progress and award-winning works, showcase the traditions and techniques that have been passed down in various regions.

A popularity poll is being held for past award-winning works!
As a special project to look back on our journey so far and connect it to the future, we will be holding a "Popularity Vote for Past Award-Winning Works."
Implementation period: August 22 (Fri)- September 4 (Thu)
