Keep it long, treasure it long.

Using the real thing

A 3-piece children's tableware gift set that deepens the bond between parents and children. Things that you have touched for years as a child are special even when you become an adult. These tableware are made by craftsmen from solid Japanese natural wood, milled one by one, so that daily meals will be enjoyable for both adults and children. Using real things from a young age leads to food education and a feeling of valuing things.

Wooden bowls are gentle and smooth to the touch, so they are safe for children who are not yet good at holding chopsticks. They are also nice because they do not transmit heat easily, so you can hold them firmly in your hands. These dishes have a smooth and silky feel that plastic does not have, and you can feel the quality.

The quality can be seen by using them

A 3-piece set made to fit in the hands of small children. The round shape is cute, but it is full of elegance, as if it were a smaller version of an adult's dish. Simply switching to wooden tableware will bring warmth to your everyday dining table and make family gatherings more relaxing and enjoyable.

Some items require a little extra care, as solid natural wood cannot be washed with dishwashing detergent. As these are tools used on busy days, durability and ease of maintenance are also important. These wooden vessels are coated with urethane, making them excellent for cleaning with detergent and a sponge as usual. They are very light and do not break easily even if dropped, making them ideal for children.

We have prepared a matte, smooth, natural 3-piece set. You can enjoy the beauty of the wood grain that is unique to Yamanaka lacquerware. They come in a decorative box, making them ideal for celebratory gifts such as baby showers, birthday presents, and housewarming gifts.

Traditional crafts - Yamanaka lacquerware

Yamanaka lacquerware, which has been around for 400 years since the Azuchi-Momoyama period, is characterized by a wood cutting method called "vertical wood". By using wood cut into rings, not only is it durable, but beautiful annual rings also appear. To bring out the grain of the wood, the wood is lacquered with a "wiped lacquer" process, which involves repeatedly applying and wiping off the raw lacquer, leaving the pattern of the wood unaffected. It takes about three months to complete one piece.

Wiped lacquer does not hide the wood, so advanced turning techniques are required. SHIRASAGI is a company that skillfully uses primitive "electric potter's wheel" and "woodworking lathe" to finish domestic wood, creating genuine, serious Made in Japan products.

Making high quality more accessible

Among the three lacquerware production areas known as "Yamanaka for wood," "Wajima for lacquer," and "Kanazawa for lacquerware," Shirasagi Woodworks in Yamanaka boasts the top domestic techniques in lathe turning. Usually, lacquerware is made by a group of people, but by adopting a unique style that involves everything from purchasing logs to processing, they have refined their quality and now hold a 50% share of the Yamanaka lacquerware processing market. This style is imbued with the desire of the makers to deliver high-quality tableware that exceeds the price to those who want to use it.

For many years, they have been manufacturing bowl products for many famous brands, but in 1997 they began developing original products using the techniques they had cultivated. The third generation launched their own brand, SHIRASAGI, and are committed to making tableware that can be used as everyday items.

SHIRASAGI is a place where artisanal skills and traditions live on. Choose this special item to add color to your daily life, not only for yourself but also as a gift for someone special.
