The wood grain comes to life

This is a Shirasagi bowl gift set made by craftsmen, cutting each piece of solid Japanese natural wood. It has no base, so it can be used for both Japanese and Western dishes, such as soup, yogurt, salad, and cereal.

It is difficult for heat to be transmitted, so it is safe to put hot soup or miso soup in it, and it can be used by a wide range of people, from small children to the elderly. This is a high-quality wooden item that is especially recommended for those who want wooden dishes but are not confident in how to handle them.

The goodness you can see when you use it

The original solid natural wood cannot be washed with dishwashing detergent, so some care is required, but since it is a tool that is used every day during busy days, durability and ease of maintenance are also important. This is a urethane paint finish that makes use of the wood grain, which is a characteristic of Yamanaka lacquerware, so it is easy to remove dirt and can be maintained as usual. It is very light, so it is safe to drop and not easily broken.

Just by changing to wooden tableware, your usual meals will look even more delicious. The way it fits when you hold it is unique to wooden vessels, and the smooth texture is so enchanting.

It comes in a presentation box, so it is perfect as a gift for a loved one, such as a wedding gift, a housewarming gift, a new life gift, or a thank you gift.

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, it is not only durable, but also has beautiful annual rings. In order to make the most of this wood grain, it is applied with "wiped lacquer," and the raw lacquer is applied and wiped off repeatedly, leaving the pattern of the wood while imprinting it. It takes about three months to finish one piece.

Wiped lacquer requires advanced cutting techniques because it does not hide the wood. SHIRASAGI is a company that uses primitive "electric potter's wheel" and "woodworking lathe" to finish domestic wood and create genuine, serious Made in Japan products.

High quality is more accessible

Among the three lacquerware production areas known as "Yamanaka for woodwork," "Wajima for lacquerware," and "Kanazawa for lacquerware," Shirasagi Mokko in Yamanaka boasts the top technology in lathe turning in Japan. Lacquerware is usually made by dividing up the work, but by using a unique style that is integrated from purchasing raw wood to processing, they have improved the quality and now hold a 50% share of Yamanaka lacquerware processing. This style is imbued with the maker's desire to deliver high-quality tableware that is worth more than 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 technology they had cultivated up to that point. The third generation owner launched their own brand, SHIRASAGI, and is committed to making tableware that can be used as everyday items.

SHIRASAGI is a brand that embodies the skills and traditions of artisans. It is a special item that will add color to your daily life, so please choose it not only for yourself, but also as a gift for a special person.
