"Lacquerware and Kokeshi connecting Ishikawa, Kaga and Tohoku" will be held!

Currently, Yamanaka lacquerware boasts one of Japan's top-class lacquerware production and wood grinding technology.
We will hold a collaboration fair with #Kaga hot-spring village (Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture), the production area of Yamanaka lacquerware.

Previously, a 15-minute drive from Kaga hot-spring village operated Komatsu Airport and Sendai Airport, but now it is suspended due to the spread of COVID-19 infection. That's why this fair has been realized.

At the # Yamanaka Onsen in Kaga hot-spring village, a young potter's Kokeshi doll craftsman from Tohoku learns the grinding wheel technology and lacquer art. At this fair, we will sell lacquerware from two manufacturers representing Yamanaka lacquerware and Kokeshi doll's works from two craftsmen studied at Yamanaka Onsen.
And I would like to remind you of the many charms of lacquerware from all over the Tohoku region, which is permanently sold at our shop.
