Lacquer crafts artist still displaced by earthquake in Japan

Thousands of people are still displaced following an earthquake in Isekawa province in Japan on Jan. 1 of this year. The epicenter of the quake was on the Noto Peninsula, an area known for its traditional crafts, including a distinct style of lacquered tableware and teaware made in the town of Wajima. The earthquake triggered a fire in Wajima, and lacquerware craftspeople lost workshops full of specialized tools. Hannah Kirshner caught up with some of these artisans in the nearby town of Yamanaka Onsen, where many have relocated and begun to redefine this centuries-old craft.
