On the other hand, this means that there is no room for deception, and it can only be achieved when everything - the materials, the precision of the wood base, and the transparent wiped lacquer - is perfect. At Gato Mikio Shoten, we pursue practicality utilizing the advanced techniques of traditional Yamanaka lacquerware and high artistry based on a Japanese aesthetic, striving to create lacquerware that will be loved for a long time.
