Taste unique to wood

There is a craftsman who makes a lacquerware woodwork called a woodworker. It is a craftsman who is indispensable for making lacquerware, but the number is decreasing year by year, and the production area that produces wood is also increasing. It is Shozu Shikko that protects such work as a woodworker and aims for further heights.

Maximize your technology

A thin bowl that can feel light even on wood, and a curvilinear stem that extends from there. A wooden wine glass featuring a smooth and beautiful shape like a glass wine glass that cannot be thought of as a tree. This form that can be realized by fusing handicrafts and machines was made possible by Kiji-sensei who knew the material “wood”. Not only thinning technology, but especially thin and thin parts are distorted by moisture in the wood, so trial and error are repeated from the drying method of wood before processing, and finally realized by an original drying method discovered It is. Usually, the porridge is finished by grinding the outer side and then the inner side, but it is an elaborate thing that it is finally completed after 5 to 10 times the process.

In addition to the part that forms the shape, there are original technologies in the subsequent processes. If it is innocent, the wood is vulnerable to water, so the finish is given a clear process called nanoglass coding. This created a smooth hand and made it possible to use a dishwasher. Even if you add wine stains or dark ones, there is no worry about color migration.

As a Yamanaka lacquerware woodworker

Shozu Shikko, a workshop that makes wood, founded in 1950 in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture. There are three lacquerware production areas in Ishikawa Prefecture, and they are called “Kiyama no Yamanaka”, “Painting Wajima” and “Makie no Kanazawa”. Yamanaka lacquerware has its own outstanding wood-grounding technology with the highest quality and quantity in Japan in the field of wood. The name of the craftsman lacquer ware is named by the predecessor from the idea of ​​becoming the best wood lacquer ware in the Yamanaka lacquerware.

The predecessor, Yamanaka Onsen, has high technology that is said to be in the three fingers, and he manipulated the Kannabo, which is difficult to stabilize even with both hands, like one's arm. In spite of its high technology, the idea was that products, not works, would support and develop the production area, so we quickly established a system in which steel lathes were incorporated in the mountains to enable mass production.
Today, the second generation Shoji Kubo takes over the workshop and wants to deliver to many people products that make them feel the goodness of wood by making use of the technology that has been cultivated since the establishment of the circle. I started my own brand from my thoughts. Using a steel lathe that uses the traditional technique of pulling and original blades that have been cultivated over many years, we have created items with high-quality and delicate designs that cannot be imitated by other companies.
