Land of lacquer (5)
I believe the answer is:
japan
I believe this is a double definition.
'land' is the first definition.
(Japan is an example)
'lacquer' is the second definition.
(japan is a kind of lacquer)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for japan that I've seen before include "Glossy, black varnish; country" , "Twelve [VARNISH]" , "East Asian country" , "It's a string of more than 3,000 islands" , "Glossy black lacquer" .)
