The Deep Flavor of Echizen Lacquer - A History Dating Back Over 1500 Years

Lacquer has become synonymous with "lovely", and is praised as a Japanese art. Echizen-Shikki is a solid and elegant lacquer that has been adored for over 1500 years. This design, with its high quality craftsmanship and polished design, spread enjoyment thorough its traditional products as room ornaments, goods for family use, as well as gifts. Additionally, new innovations in lacquer technology has given birth to a new lacquering process that produces strong, hard to damage products that still preserves the ancient traditions while living up to the needs of today. Experience for yourself the unique, deep flavor of Echizen-Shikki.

Echizen Lacquer, based in Sabae-shi of Fukui Prefecture, has established a division of labor system throughout the region, which ensures that every step of the process, from the foundation, the lacquer, and the finish, is produced with the highest quality for a strong and beautiful product. At Tsuchinao Laquer, we employ the finest specialized craftsmen to work on all processes excluding the foundation (the base, mid-coat, final coat, and the laquer) at the same factory, which allows them to work together seamlessly in creating these intricate plans. Thanks to this, we are able to continually increase the quality of our products. We take special efforts in our wooden bowls, where the elegance and deep flavor of laquer can be appreciated at your everyday dinner table. Please enjoy the rare items from Tsuchinao Laquer, which uses the skills developed by tradition and through intense training by craftsmen, for an always new and free expression.

We use a lacquer of the highest purity and strength, which was specially patented for use in traditional goods and the maintenance and repair of Buddhist temples. Even after over 1000 dishwasher and boiling tests, it never loses its color or gloss. More than just the long-lasting special properties of lacquer, we've tied a beautiful reddish-brown color to the standing colors for an even deeper flavor.
