The 6th century AD, the end of the Tumulus Period. When the 26th Emperor Keitai was still a prince, a lacquer artist from Katayama Village (now Katayama Town, Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture) was ordered to repair the damaged crown. The lacquer artist repaired the crown with lacquer and presented him with a black lacquer bowl. The prince was deeply moved by his exquisite craftsmanship and encouraged him to start making lacquerware in Katayama Village. It is said that this was the beginning of today's Echizen lacquerware.
