Every morning comes with a different story.

Mountain lacquer ware "change cup"

Located in Jiaga City, Ishikawa County, the 1300-year-old famous Tangshan Hot Spring. Now it is the crabs caught in the Sea of Japan that are decorated with dinner. The mountain hot spring has the traditional craft "mountain lacquer ware" since the Antu Taoshan era. It is characterized by the natural feel of wood grain patterns. In this area, it has been a "wood master" since ancient times, using the hands of craftsmen who turn filter mud to process wood and cultivate a lacquer culture. Located a little deeper in Hot Springs Street, Asakata Lacquer Craft is the workshop of six employees who started making mountain lacquer ware more than 100 years ago.

The fourth generation of ASADA lacquer ware craft Akihiko Asada

「ドバイ万博」VIP記念品にも! Mountain lacquer ware

Akihiko Asada of the fourth generation was born in 1988 at the age of 33. Lacquer craftsmen are also "young" when they come to Hua Jia, and they are still young in their 30s. From the beginning of being sensible, the craftsman's place of work is Mr. ASADA of the amusement park. When I was in primary school, I saw my father, who worked hard for the company, determined to "want to make lacquer ware myself." After studying lacquer ware at school in Kyoto, I returned to my hometown. As a member of the company, re-focus on the world of lacquer ware, where it used to be the world of craftsmen. It takes about a year for lacquer ware in the mountains to be shipped from a log. Due to repeated painting, easy to dry in summer, difficult to dry in winter, etc., will also be affected by the climate.

Trial production: trial production

Even if it takes time to deliver, the brand is weak compared with Lunshima Tu and Kanazawa lacquer ware in Ishikawa Prefecture, and is sometimes sold in 100 yen stores. Therefore, among the craftsmen, there are also those who "can't let their children do such a cost-effective job" and dare not be successors. "it is not enough to protect tradition alone. We have to make utensils that young people can get! Mr. ASADA decided to set up a new brand.

Guests with painting experience

In 2013, ASADA launched a new brand "asada (Asada)". The production is Western-style lacquer ware, "foreign lacquer ware". The artisan who used to have temperament said, "the young will do something stupid again." However, ASADA's mood has not been shaken. "inheritance is different from tradition. What is made in keeping with the times is the world of "traditional" utensils, and the things sold vary greatly from season to season. It can be kept in department stores from autumn to winter, and cool metal and glass tableware are the center of sales from spring to summer. "well, wouldn't it be nice to make lacquer ware suitable for the season? "
