Why is lacquer art a major symbol of traditional Japanese handicraft design?

Coating technology and furniture technology design

Although Japan is not the founder of lacquer technology, due to the extensive introduction and in-depth study of Chinese lacquer technology, as well as the bold exploration and continuous innovation on this basis, the technical level and production prosperity of Japanese lacquer technology finally came from behind in modern times, and its influence gradually spread all over the world, even in turn affecting China. Because of this, lacquer art has almost become a major symbol of traditional Japanese handicraft design, and because of this, westerners take the term lacquer as the country name of Japan.
