Craftsmanship / Features

Yamanaka Shikki is renowned for its superior wood-turning techniques (Hikimono), which allow for the creation of thin, elegant wooden bases. Our made-in-japan products leverage this skill, particularly the tatekidori (vertical grain) method, which ensures the woodenware is resistant to warping. Furthermore, we are pioneers in modern lacquerware, offering products that are microwave and dishwasher safe, achieved through advanced resin development and hand-applied urethane coatings, ensuring both beauty and practicality for modern use.
