The History of Kagawa Lacquerware
Kagawa lacquerware dates back approximately 200 years. It developed during the Edo period through industrial promotion policies by the Matsudaira family, who were the lords of Takamatsu Domain. Among the artisans, Tamamizu Zokoku is said to have established the foundation of today's Kagawa lacquerware by studying lacquerware techniques such as carved lacquer, zonsei, and kinma that originated from China and Southeast Asia, and establishing his own distinctive artistic style.
Five techniques of Kagawa lacquerware
The techniques of "kinma," "zonsei," and "choushitsu" involve expressing patterns on vessels coated with layers of colored lacquer using carving techniques with engraving tools and blades. "Goto-nuri" features timeless patterns based on vermillion, while "Zokoku-nuri" involves repeatedly applying lacquer to the wooden base and finishing with a sprinkling of wild rice powder.
Brand name: "87.5"
Kukai (Kobo Daishi: 774-835), born in Sanuki (Kagawa Prefecture), is said to have frequently practiced asceticism in this region. The Shikoku pilgrimage involves visiting eighty-eight sacred sites associated with Kobo Daishi, following in his footsteps. The brand name "87.5" of Kawaguchiya Lacquerware Store was inspired by the desire to "make Shikoku and Kagawa lacquerware more widely known," and derives from the location of their workshop situated along the pilgrimage route between the 87th temple, Nagao-ji, and the 88th temple, Okubo-ji, of the Shikoku eighty-eight temple pilgrimage.
Kagawa lacquerware
Kagawa lacquerware is produced in and around Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. With a history dating back to the Edo period, five techniques - "kinma," "zonsei," "choshitsu," "goto-nuri," and "zokoku-nuri" - were designated as traditional crafts in February 1976 under the Traditional Crafts Industry Promotion Law. A diverse range of products are created, from small items such as confectionery containers and trays to large pieces including decorative shelves and furniture.
