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 beautiful annual rings appear. In order to make the most of this wood grain, "wiped lacquer" is applied, and the raw lacquer is applied and wiped off repeatedly, and the lacquer is imprinted while leaving the pattern of the wood. It takes about three months to finish one piece.

Wiped lacquer requires advanced cutting techniques because the wood is not hidden. 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.
