Wajima Urushi 輪島漆 - Japanese Lacquer story with Taya Shikkiten (田谷漆器店)

Three years ago, we introduced you to Wajima Urushi for the first time. After meeting and observing the craftsmen at work in the lacquer studio, we gained a wealth of knowledge about the importance of Urushi in modern Japanese life.

This time, we had another wonderful opportunity to interview Mr. Takahiro Taya from Taya Shikiten to gain insights into more stories behind Japanese lacquer.

The video features some of our Urushi and Maki-e craftsmen from Wajima:
Master Tsutomu Taya: Urushi artisan, former president (理事長) of Wajima Urushi Association (輪島漆器商工業協同組合), former owner of Taya Shikkiten (田谷漆器店)
Master Yamanoshita: Maki-e artisan
Master Toshiaki Hiko: Urushi artisan
Master Mitsuo Uwamaki: Urushi artisan
Master Satomi Hira: Urushi artisan

Join us in discovering the captivating world of Urushi and Maki-e, where traditional craftsmanship meets innovation. Don't miss out on the chance to explore Wancher's unique products inspired by this ancient art form.
