About Kawatsure Shikki
Kawatsura Shikki is lacquerware that was born in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. It originated in sword sheaths, bows, armours and other weapons lacquered at this place about 800 years ago. Today its main products are bowls and plates. The manufacturing process is performed in the order of wood making, grounding, painting, and decoration. A high-strength vessel is made by the unique ground coating in which raw lacquer is applied over and over again.
