Comment

In 1543, three Portuguese arrived on the island of Tanegashima, becoming the first Europeans to come into contact with the Land of the Rising Sun. From the outset, Portugal and Japan influenced each other in various areas, from technical to artistic, and maintained intense commercial relations. One of the most popular Japanese items was the famous lacquer pieces (urushi), created by master craftsmen using a technique as old as it is complex.
