About the Production Area: Kagawa Lacquerware
Kagawa lacquerware traces its origins to the late Edo period when Zokoku Tamakaji studied techniques such as Kinma and Zonsei, which were introduced from Southeast Asia and China. Building on this knowledge, he developed innovative methods that laid the foundation for Kagawa's distinctive lacquerware tradition.
Representative techniques include Kinma, Zonsei, Goto-nuri, Choshitsu, and Zokoku-nuri. Chopsticks crafted using these methods grow richer in character and beauty with use, offering a depth of flavor and aesthetic unique to Kagawa lacquerware. These exquisite pieces are truly treasures for connoisseurs, standing apart from other production regions.
