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, the feudal lords of Takamatsu Domain. Among the artisans, Tamamushi Zokoku, who studied lacquerware techniques such as carved lacquer, zonsei, and kinma that originated from China and Southeast Asia, and established his own distinctive style, is said to have laid the foundation for today's Kagawa lacquerware.

Five techniques of Kagawa lacquerware
The techniques of "kinma," "zonsei," and "choshitsu" express patterns by applying carving techniques using carving knives and swords on vessels coated with layers of colored lacquer. "Goto-nuri" features timeless patterns based on vermillion, while "Zokoku-nuri" involves repeatedly applying lacquer to the wood base and finishing with a sprinkling of Manchurian wild rice powder.

Brand name: "87.5"
Kukai (Kobo Daishi: 774-835), who was born in Sanuki (Kagawa Prefecture), is said to have frequently practiced asceticism in this land. 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 more people aware of lacquerware from Shikoku and Kagawa," and was named after the location of the workshop situated along the path from the 87th temple, Nagao-ji, to the 88th temple, Okuboji, on the eighty-eight temple pilgrimage circuit of Shikoku.
Kagawa lacquerware
Kagawa lacquerware is produced in the area around Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture.

A diverse range of products is created, from small items such as confectionery containers and trays to large pieces including decorative shelves and furniture.
