Wajima lacquerware is known for its durability, but depending on how it is used, scratches and dullness may occur. All purchased products can be used for a long time by repairing them, such as by repainting. If you would like to have your product repaired, please contact us at the address below.
You might think that Wajima lacquerware requires special care, but in fact, it should be treated no differently than other bowls or plates. Simply wash it with your regular dish soap and dry it on a rack. After washing, we recommend wiping off any excess water.
Wajima lacquerware is sensitive to drying, so a humid environment is required to maintain its lustrous luster. Because the air close to the ground is humid, we recommend storing it in a low place rather than on a high shelf. You can also purchase it as a decorative item, but as it will last longer in a humid environment, we recommend using it occasionally to allow it to absorb moisture.

Communicating with nature and the times
Putting the spirit of a lacquer maker into the pottery
Back to the Nature, Back to the Roots
From the Edo period to the present, lacquer artists have experienced the stillness of the world as they travel around as peddlers, capturing people's emotions and incorporating them into the designs of Wajima lacquerware. The "Sun Vessel" also embodies a strong sentiment towards nature, which is becoming stronger in today's society where industrialization and urbanization are progressing. In Japan, it is believed that gods reside in all things, and people refer to the sun as "Otendo-sama."
Refined Primitives
Wajima lacquerware tends to give off an impression of being gorgeous and luxurious, but I am proud that the "Sun Vessel" has a style that exudes a certain wildness and can be described as refined and primitive (a fundamental sensibility).
The large plate, 37cm in diameter, exudes a relaxed atmosphere, and the pattern is created using the "togidashi" technique (applying lacquer to the wood base), with multiple layers of colored lacquer applied and then polished smooth with charcoal (polishing the lacquer until the pattern is revealed), creating the shape of a sun.
Just as there are no two suns, the "solar vessel" is also one of a kind in the world.
Use it, look at it, and let the power of the sun shine on your life
"Sun Vessel" was created by the 9th generation Taya family and craftsmen in pursuit of Wajima lacquerware that would blend into modern life, based on the concept of "vessel that is like the sun, illuminating the dining table and living space."
It has a flat form not seen in traditional Wajima lacquerware, with the hope that it will brighten up the room not only when in use but also when not in use.
*By eliminating the base attached to the bottom of the dish and giving the plate a flat shape with no sharp edges, we have created a dish that looks natural even when used as a decorative plate.
The flat shape exudes an international feel and looks great with any type of food, including hors d'oeuvres, salads, grilled meat and fish, finger foods, and sushi.
Even though it doesn't appear on the dining table, when used with the included plate stand it can become a focal point of the interior (a place or object that draws the eye, such as a tokonoma or fireplace), adding a touch of elegance to the space.
This vessel is great for both use and viewing.
Wajima lacquerware, which is deeply connected to the earth, is made with great care.
In the past, lacquer makers who set out on peddling trade trips on Kitamae-bune ships would look up at the sun shining on the sea and pray for a safe voyage. The "Sun Vessel" is imbued with a sense of gratitude and awe for nature that has been passed down through the generations of the people of Noto.
We have received support from a wide range of people of all ages and have received requests to make our products in other colors, so we have recently come up with variations in blue and tin to the product that was originally only available in red.
Customers can freely use the tableware as they please, whether they buy one by one like a set of annual plates, give a set of different colors as gifts, or use them as decorative plates. Thanks to this, "Tableware of the Sun" has become a long-selling item at Taya Lacquerware Store.
We would like to continue to cherish these vessels as they return to the origins of the lacquer shop.
