This is Fukui, a place of "creation". Fukui is a place where you can see, hear, and experience the craftsmanship of a production area that has maintained traditional techniques while also adapting to the changing times. We hope that through encountering the people and objects directly at manufacturing sites, the process of manufacturing become more personal for travelers.

When you go to the Nishikikori lacquerware shop, you will receive a lecture from Mr. Nishikikori about Echizen lacquerware and the experience, and then choose your own tray. The grain of the wood varies depending on the wood, so please choose the one you like.

Lacquer can cause a rash, so you will be wearing rental gloves, arm covers, and an apron to try wiping the lacquer.

First, Mr. Nishikikori shows us a model, and then we actually apply the lacquer ourselves using the craftsman's tools. Even if there is a difficult part, Mr. Nishikikori will teach you directly next to you, so even beginners can participate with confidence. The trays painted by the customer will be shipped in 4-5 weeks after drying and finishing.

Once you've finished your experience, you can enjoy shopping at the attached Nishikikori Lacquerware shop and SAVA! STORE, run by the design office TSUGI, so be sure to stop by.

A tray that can be used for serving meals or as a tray for breakfast or snacks will turn your ordinary moments into your favorite ones. Why not join us in making Maitrey that you can use forever?

*The tray in the photo is an image. The shape of the actual experience will be different.
