A 12-inch round carved lacqured plate from Japan. Kamakura-Bori carving is a work of technical art with a seven-century-old history. The handicraft originated in the traditional art of Buddhist sculpture and has been handed down to present-day craftsmen. This was donated by the City of Yokohama, Japan, a San Diego Sister City since 1957.
