Lacquerware is an important traditional craft in Kagawa Prefecture, and zokoku-nuri is one of the techniques used in lacquerware production. Zokoku-nuri is known for its unique and elegant shading effect, which is created by repeatedly applying lacquer to the surface of wooden utensils and sprinkling them with wild zizania latifolia. Zokoku-nuri is often used on daily items such as cups, bowls, and trays, with their glimmer becoming more apparent with use.
