One of the charms of Kagawa lacquerware is certainly its practicality.
The longer you use it the more its character deepens, and even scratches become part of the texture.
"But because lacquer is a prestige product, isn't it also hard to care for...?" We present products recommended for everyday use, to overturn this image. |

| Lacquer is wiped onto the wood base, then colored lacquer is layered on this before a lacquer picture is painted on with a brush. Because they have a square cross-section, these chopsticks are easy to hold and won't roll on the table. The range of colors and patterns is also something to be happy about. |
