STYLE OF JAPAN is a "sustainable lacquered chopstick craft where people and nature coexist and prosper together.

Commitment to Our Products
Our products are Pure Japan Made chopsticks produced in the forests of Fukui Prefecture.
We use internationally certified PEFC-certified wood (thinned wood) produced in Fukui Prefecture as the material for our chopsticks, and all manufacturing processes are completed in the Wakasa lacquerware production area, which has a 400-year history and tradition.

Our aim is to connect the beautiful nature with human life and to balance the global environment with the future of manufacturing.
We are also trying to elevate the chopsticks, a symbol of Japanese culture, to the status of "Hashi", a globally accepted cutlery like MANGA.
Using the history and technology of a 400-year old traditional crafting center, we have added modern methods of expression and a new manufacturing system, and have also taken on the aspect of social design to solve the problem of global climate change through the familiar chopsticks.

Into a world of colors where no two are alike

Colors change with time [lacquer ware like a plant].

[YUIYU is a brand of interior goods that combines the 450-year history of Yamanaka lacquerware with a floral designer's perspective. The unprecedented coloring of lacquerware and plant-inspired shapes add color to your life in a high-quality way.

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.

[Adding light to our lives.]

Touch the light, feel the wind, and listen to the gentle sounds. Spend your days with your loved ones under that rainbow. Everyone around the blue pond.

Commitment to our products
Glass is a very mysterious material, like air, water, ice, stone, and light. We want to see more of the rich expression that glass creates with its form and light. I want to know more about it. I am continuing my research and production with this simple curiosity as a driving force.

Even if the same glass is used, the shape of the glass can be changed to a very different form depending on the conditions such as temperature, time, and arrangement when melting in a kiln, as well as the surrounding space, time of day, the way the sun or lighting shines, and the angle of view.

I have come to see it as a "bridge" between the visible (physical) world and the invisible (consciousness, unconsciousness, senses, etc.) world.

Myself and glass. Glass and glass. Glass and light. Light and light. Light and people. People and people. People and myself.

We hope that the things that emerge from such a chain of encounters will add light to the lives and livelihoods of those around us, including our own. I hope that the unique charm of each person will shine through.
