Product name Miyajima Rokuro Zaiku (Wooden Lathe Crafts)
Product description
Better with age: enjoy the natural progression and beauty of Japanese woodgrain
It is said that the tradition of Miyajima Rokuro Zaiku came to the island in the mid-1800s. Instead of using lacquer to create brightly colored pieces, this traditional craftwork features the natural beauty of wood. We use traditional techniques to create a wide variety of pieces: the process begins with carefully choosing wood materials, and then shaping and naturally drying them before using a lathe to carve them. The beautiful woodgrain takes center stage in our pieces. Each piece features the gentle curves and warmth that only handcrafted woodwork can provide. With each use, the pieces darken in color, becoming more refined. Enjoy the natural progression of each piece as it becomes a permanent part of your home.
