[What is Wajima-nuri?]

A representative traditional Japanese lacquerware craft passed down mainly in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Among the lacquer culture with over a thousand years of history, it is particularly characterized by its exquisite and durable techniques.

Craftsmen repeatedly apply and dry carefully selected lacquer, polishing between layers to create a deep luster and robust texture. Furthermore, by employing decorative techniques such as maki-e (gold lacquer painting) and chinkin, each piece gains artistic value.

The charm of Wajima-nuri lies not only in its beauty but also in its ability to maintain its brilliance even with daily use. You can feel the breath of the artisan the moment you hold it.
It is truly the pinnacle of Japanese traditional crafts, gaining more character with use.
Traditional Wajima-nuri lacquerware is designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property.
This is a top-quality lacquerware that can be used for generations.
