‘Tradition meets Timeless Beauty’

Shikki (漆器, Japanese lacquerware) refers to traditional Japanese lacquerware, a craft that has been refined over centuries. Made by applying layers of urushi (natural lacquer) to wood, ceramics, or metal, it creates a deep, glossy finish that is both beautiful and durable.

Currently, we are featuring several notable types of Shikki each with unique regional styles, techniques, and aesthetics

Wajima-nuri (輪島塗), originating from Wajima City in Ishikawa Prefecture, is considered the highest-quality lacquerware in Japan, known for its exceptional durability, meticulous craftsmanship, and elaborate decorative techniques.

Echizen-nuri (越前塗), originating from Fukui Prefecture, is one of Japan's oldest lacquerware traditions, dating back over 1,500 years. It is known for its durability, elegant simplicity, and deep lacquer finishes, making it a favorite for both traditional and modern tableware.

Yamanaka Shikki (山中漆器) is a renowned type of Japanese lacquerware originating from Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is particularly known for its exquisite woodturning craftsmanship and durability, making it distinct from other forms of Japanese lacquerware.
