漆器ですので、食洗機も電子レンジも使えません。優しく手洗いして、よく乾かしてください。
しっきですので、しょくせんきもでんしれんじもつかえません。やさしくてあらいして、よくかわかしてください。
Since it's lacquerware, you cannot use a dishwasher or microwave. Please wash it gently by hand and dry it thoroughly.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up the item in question while asking.
Always ask for care instructions for delicate traditional items. Improper care can damage them. Don't assume modern conveniences like dishwashers are safe.
