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 process of applying raw lacquer and wiping it off is repeated, and the lacquer is imprinted while leaving the pattern of the wood. It takes about three months to complete one piece.

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

High quality is now 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 domestic techniques in lathe turning. Lacquerware is usually made by a division of labor, but by using a unique style that is integrated from purchasing the logs to processing, they have refined the quality and now hold a 50% share of the Yamanaka lacquerware processing market. 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, the company has manufactured bowl products for many famous brands, but in 1997 it began developing original products using the techniques it had cultivated. The third generation launched its 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 its 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 someone special.
