Add color to your daily dining table with Kagawa lacquerware
When I introduced myself to someone I met for the first time, saying "I run a lacquerware business,"
they replied, "Oh, you mean the one where you knead clay and spin a pottery wheel."
I was astonished that there are people who don't know what lacquerware is.
On the other hand, as lifestyles continue to change,
I also feel that many households no longer have lacquerware in their daily lives.
I believe it's important to create lacquerware that people of my own generation would want to purchase.
For example, reading glasses.
As people age, most of them need them.
What about lacquerware?
It's not something people suddenly start buying when they reach a certain age.
If that's the case, I must create lacquerware that people of my own generation would find appealing,
lacquerware they would want to purchase.
I have a passion for clothing and treasure the time I spend browsing through garments.
When I encounter a shirt that speaks to me and wear it, it lifts my spirits.
I believe tableware is the same.
When I serve food on vessels that match my taste, daily meals become even more enjoyable.
I want to create pieces that elegantly grace the dining table.
For this reason, I spare no effort in refining my sensibility.
I engage with diverse people regardless of genre. I visit various shops.
I explore daily what exists in places where people gather.
I strive to know not only what I personally like, but also what is "current."
I believe that by accumulating these experiences and continuing to refine myself, Kagawa lacquerware will continue to grace dining tables.
