From Japanese Craftpedia portal
Hidehira-nuri (秀衡塗) is a lacquer tradition associated with Iwate Prefecture, particularly Hiraizumi and surrounding areas. It is notable for gold-foil inlay patterns (kirikane) placed on black and vermilion lacquer fields, and for its historical connections to the Ōshū Fujiwara court, whose visual culture shaped regional ceremonial aesthetics in the 12th century.
