Ihara Lacquerware Shop
Bringing the lustre of lacquer into everyday life—the essence of style since 1907.
Standing along Nakamachi Street lined with white-walled storehouses, this long-established shop was founded in 1907. It offers not only authentic lacquerware like jubako boxes and bowls showcasing artisan craftsmanship, but also everyday items like lacquered tea spoons that are easy to purchase and incorporate into daily life. Its wide selection is praised by foreign tourists as a way to "easily take home a piece of Japanese beauty."The warm hospitality, where the friendly proprietor uses gestures to convey the charm of the items, is another appealing aspect. Why not explore here for a lasting travel memory?
