Creator Description
Uchiki Co., Ltd. is an established company renowned for its traditional craftsmanship of Yamanaka lacquerware, notably the "Shima" cups. Their artisanal products combine the functionality of stainless steel double-walled glasses with Yamanaka lacquerware, creating items that are one-of-a-kind due to the nature of their craftsmanship, each exuding its unique beauty.
The "mirror finish," made possible by the skilled polishing techniques of Tsubame-Sanjo, adds an elegant touch to the dining table. The fusion of the "lacquer" of Yamanaka and the "polishing" of Tsubame-Sanjo is a rare combination, earning international acclaim under the name "Uchiki Shima." They have been selected as a "Takumi (Master Craftsman) Enterprise" by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), and the collaboration between Yamanaka lacquerware and Tsubame-Sanjo craftsmanship is poised to receive even greater recognition in the future on a global scale.
