The Somada family of lacquer artists is traditionally said to have been founded in the early 18th century by Somada Kiyosuke who learned the technique in Nagasaki, Edo period Japan's window onto contemporary China. Somada ware is characterised by intricate inlay of iridescent shell with tiny pieces of gold and silver foil laid flush with the ground which is usually black lacquer.
