Commitment to our products
Lacquerware that looks like a plant" was conceived by a floral designer.
The model for this lacquerware was an organic shape like a plant. The wood of Yamana Lacquerware, which is known as the best in Japan, the technique of rokuro-hiki (turning on a wheel), and the technique of nuki-urushi (wiping) lacquerware have created a product with a strong sense of presence.
As it ages, it slowly becomes more colorful, like a flower opening its buds.
As a vessel, as interior decoration, or as miscellaneous goods. It is a free lacquerware that does not fit into any one category. By adding a floral designer's perspective to the traditional craft of Yamanaka-nuri, we have expressed flower-like curves, delicate stripes, and the budding of bulbs.
● Spotlight on the craftsmen who support behind the rim.
[YUIYU] products are the work of many people who are not visible to the public, such as those who grind the wheel, refine the lacquer, apply the undercoat, and wipe off the lacquer. Although Yamanaka Lacquerware's craftsmen work under a division of labor, they communicate with each other and have always been flexible in their approach to paving the way for the future. We are committed to passing on such new sensibilities to the next generation. By highlighting the people involved in these processes, we aimed to create a timeless traditional craft that will be loved by all generations.

Koizumi Seigawara
Koizumi SeigawaraThe name "Kikusada" was initially adopted as a trade name by Sadakichi Koizumi, the fifth generation of Koizumi Seigawara, a tile manufacturer with a heritage spanning ten generations. Today, the brand name "Kikusada" represents the craftsmanship accumulated by Koizumi Seigawara over the past ten generations.
Commitment to Our Products:- The "Shiki" series coasters are crafted using our tile-making technology, with the tiles exhibiting water-absorbing properties to soak up water droplets.
- The Gazen series of tableware also leverages the same tile-making technology, but in this case, the water absorbency is minimized by baking the tableware at an extremely high temperature, forming an oxidized film.
