Heritage / Story

This piece brings together two distinct Japanese crafts.

First, the lacquer artisan carefully prepares the base, applying multiple layers of urushi to achieve depth and durability.
Then, a maki-e artist from Yamanaka (Ishikawa Prefecture) completes the work using traditional techniques.

The oak leaf (kashiwa) motif symbolizes continuity and prosperity — as old leaves remain until new ones grow.

Each piece carries subtle individuality, reflecting the human touch behind its creation.
