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.

FEATURE
Hiding the heart of a young girl,
To all adult women
Unable to live in accordance with the rhythm of nature
Modern women
Regardless of whether they are single or married, or their age, women living today tend to put their own needs on the back burner in order to meet the needs of others.
There may be days when, after finishing your tasks for the day, you look around your room and discover that the flowers in your vase are wilted and still in bud.
Modern society, which values time-saving and efficiency, is at odds with the natural rhythm of life that women are born with. Perhaps women, vaguely aware of this contradiction, spend their days strengthening their soft hearts in an effort to fit into society.
The feeling of doubt, wondering if this is really okay and if you've left something important behind, may be a message encouraging you to refuel your soul.
At times when you are overwhelmed by hustle and bustle and can't even sense the seasons, try incorporating some time into your life to face beautiful things.
My maiden heart is awakened,
A sophisticated girly stylethat recreates the chic of Edo
Beautiful things have the power to heal people's hearts and restore vitality for tomorrow.
The lacquered silver cup "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" embodies scenes of a life spent admiring flowers, listening to the birdsong, and enjoying the beautiful scenery and landscapes of the natural world.
This piece, decorated with maki-e (lacquerware) of cherry blossoms and Japanese white-eyes in spring, bamboo groves and sparrows in summer, autumn leaves and kingfishers in autumn, and plum blossoms and Japanese bush warblers in winter, was inspired by classical maki-e (lacquerware).
The design, painted against a jet black background, uses carefully selected colors to bring out the vivid colors of the birds, and the synergistic effect with the realistic design that recreates the elegance of Edo creates a refined sweetness that stands out.
When you hold a cup with a graceful elegance that can withstand adult appreciation, perhaps it awakens the dormant maiden heart within you.
Many customers are transported back to their childhood, cheering with joy as they gaze intently at the lacquer bird, and take home with them a seasonal cup that matches the month they were born in, with hearts filled with joy.
Lacquer and silver
A courageous marriage
"Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" has a graceful charm that captivates the hearts of adult women.
The inside of the cup is made of silver, but this innovative combination of lacquer and silver, which is not found in traditional Wajima lacquerware, is not just a design element.
Silver has a high thermal conductivity, making it unsuitable for use alone, but by wrapping it in the highly insulating wood of lacquerware to create a double structure, it not only improves heat retention but also makes it possible to hold it in your hand.
Until now, it has been difficult to bond together wood and silver due to the difference in their expansion rates. However, with "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter," the wood and silver are bonded only around the circumference of the tip of the spout.
This was made possible by a special adhesive and bonding technique that took five years to develop.
The product was developed after an encounter between Taya Lacquerware and a company that wanted people to experience the medicinal properties of silver, which mellows the taste of drinks simply by pouring them and delivers a mild sensation to the stomach.
Would it be an exaggeration to say that this lacquered silver cup, with its elegant exterior and silver that has a healthy effect on the human body, embodies the spirit of a Japanese woman?
Reviving women,
Time to relax with tableware
A moment to see, touch and feel beauty. The accumulation of time spent connected with the gentle rhythms of nature invites women to return to their true nature.
As I sip a cup of tea at the empty dining table before my family wakes up, my shallow breathing becomes deeper as the steam rising from the shining golden liquid hits my cheeks.
When you take a sip of the tea, the mellow flavor spreads throughout your mouth, and the feeling of the lacquer on your lips slowly relaxes your body and mind.
From somewhere comes the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest, and the moment you listen carefully to the rustling sound, your body leaves the room and naturally begins to play.
...Maybe I should write a letter for the first time in a while.
When you smile and a familiar face pops into your mind, it's a sign that your mind is fully recharged.
