About the Origin - Tsugaru Lacquerware

Tsugaru lacquerware dates back to the early Edo period. Renowned for its durability, the chopsticks are crafted through a labor-intensive process involving repeated cycles of painting and polishing, comprising approximately 50 steps. This painstaking process has earned it the nickname “Baka-nuri” (foolish lacquer), highlighting the extraordinary effort involved. The phrase "robust and practical" perfectly captures the essence of these chopsticks. Beyond their strength, Tsugaru lacquerware boasts a variety of decorative techniques, including Karakuri-nuri, Nanako-nuri, Monsha-nuri, and Nishiki-nuri, showcasing its diverse artistic expressions.
