Kuroe Lacquerware
Glossy vessels in vermilion and black, close to everyday life—Kuroe in Kainan City is a town of lacquerware where it is said that woodturners from Omi migrated during the Muromotachi to Sengoku periods and began making bowls using the abundant timber of Kishu. As one of Japan's leading production areas alongside Aizu and Yamanaka, they have long continued to produce durable bowls for common daily use, featuring a base made of 'shibiji' (a mixture of persimmon tannin and charcoal powder). During the Edo period, the Kishu Domain protected the industry by restricting manufacturing specifically to Kuroe, causing its name to become widely known throughout various provinces. It offers a warmth that can be used casually at the daily dining table without formality. When you hold it in your hands, you can feel the certainty of the craftsmanship passed down through hundreds of years.
