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.

A gentle moment enveloped in a vessel
The difficulty of encountering the real thing
I want to give my children as much safety and security as possible.
In modern society, parents try to create as many opportunities as possible for their children to come into contact with real things, such as choosing organic ingredients for their meals, dressing them in clothes made from natural materials, and encouraging them to become familiar with nature.
However, trying to use the real thing for everything would take time, effort, and a large financial burden, making it difficult in reality.
What to do with things that are only used for a limited time, such as children's clothes that quickly become too small, or school bags that are no longer used when they graduate from elementary school? This is also a difficult problem to decide.
As I think about this and look around, I realize that there are very few genuine items that can be used from childhood to adulthood, or even throughout one's life if one so desires.
Even if you do find one, it likely has some weakness, such as poor design or undurable materials.
I can't help but feel disheartened, wondering if genuine natural products have been driven out by synthetic resin products and are now completely gone.
Use adult tableware for children,
Wajima Lacquer School "Mitate"
As food safety has become a concern, people have recently been called to attention about the dangers of harmful substances contained in the raw materials and paints used in tableware.
More and more people are aware of the harmful effects that percutaneous toxins have on the body.
That said, when it comes to children's tableware, the majority of households probably settle for makeshift items, assuming that they are only for temporary use.
Alternatively, even if you use tableware that advertises itself as being made from natural materials, if it is a product designed for use by young children, they may find it uncomfortable to use as they grow.
You may find yourself going around in circles wondering what to do, but the solution lies in an unexpected place.
Why not try a reverse approach here and use tableware made for adults as children's tableware?
Ordinary ceramic tableware, even if small, is heavy and not suitable for everyday use by children.
However, Wajima lacquerware weighs only about half as much as ceramic vessels of the same size, so even children can use vessels designed for adults.
What's more, unlike clothing, Wajima lacquerware will be fine even if the owner grows up.
Because it does not wear out or deteriorate, the vessel will continue to exist beside the child forever.
Wrapping the palm of your hand,
Seeing growth in the palm of your child's hand
The round shape brings back memories, probably because it resembles the rubber balls we played with as children.
The palm-sized bowl is slightly smaller than a regular bowl, measuring about 3 sun (10 cm in diameter). It is just large enough for an adult woman to completely enclose it with both hands.
The bowl's shape, which bulges from the bottom and hides the foot (a stand attached to the bottom of the bowl), is designed to look natural when used with Western tableware. Also, as a special gift, we are including a Wajima lacquer spoon, which has a smooth texture, as part of the set price.
The palm-sized bowl is a little small for an adult to use, but when used for a child, it transforms into a large bowl that can be used as a rice bowl or a stew bowl.
The joy of discovering new uses for the items, first by the parents and then by the children themselves, is likely to be a great opportunity to foster creativity.
When he was in the youngest class of kindergarten, I would serve him a bowl of porridge one morning when he had a cold.
By the time he entered elementary school, he was able to put curry rice into a bowl and eat it himself.
When I was in junior high school, I used the insulating and heat-retaining properties of lacquerware to enjoy the cool feel of ice cream in a bowl.
During high school, she was obsessed with dieting and ate small amounts of rice in her bowl.
Once you start working, you can also enjoy the beautiful appearance of the box by adding Japanese sweets that stand out against the vermilion color of the lacquer.
Now I keep the empty bowl next to my bed and look at it in the mornings and evenings.
The palm of my hand will be with my child through these days.
A vessel that accompanies the owner throughout their life and helps to renew the richness of their heart.
It means cherishing and using the same piece of pottery for a lifetime.
The journey that people and pottery take is perhaps a lesson in daily life that cultivates a sense of beauty and a respect for things.
