About the Manufacturer

Yamazaki Mataichi Shoten Co., Ltd. is a long-established japanese crafts manufacturer and dealer of Yamanaka Lacquerware, founded in 1887 (Meiji 20). Based in Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, we specialize in the manufacturing and sales of lacquerware products. Our expertise spans traditional wooden lacquerware, modern synthetic lacquerware, and products finished by local artisans, positioning us as a versatile japanese kitchenware supplier dedicated to bringing the warmth of wooden vessels to a wider audience.

Product Categories

Our product range is divided into three main categories, catering to both traditional and modern needs:

•Traditional Lacquerware: Authentic bowls and cups made from domestic woods like Keyaki (Zelkova), utilizing traditional rokuro (wood-turning) techniques and fuki-urushi (wipe-lacquer) finishing.

•Modern Synthetic Lacquerware: Products made from plastic (synthetic resin) with urethane coating, including microwave and dishwasher-safe bowls, trays, and plates.

•Imported Lacquerware: Items imported and often finished by Yamanaka artisans to ensure quality and a traditional touch.

Craftsmanship / Features

Our core strength lies in the mastery of Yamanaka's traditional rokuro wood-turning technique, which allows for the creation of thin, elegant wooden vessels. We are also at the forefront of innovation, developing modern synthetic lacquerware that meets the demands of contemporary dining, such as being microwave and dishwasher safe. This blend of deep-rooted tradition and modern practicality ensures our made-in-japan products offer both the aesthetic beauty of Japanese crafts and the durability required for daily use.
