Wrapped in silence, sharpening the hidden core within.
Colors emerging from the depths of lacquer, and quietly shining gold patterns.
Like a single flower blooming in Tsugaru.
We named its dignified presence "Shikkā" (Lacquer Flower).
Over many months, the polished light is in your palm.
"Infusing three centuries of silence into its beauty" Tsugaru-nuri, which captivated the world at the Vienna Expo and was designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property by the government.
The resilient spirit of the snow country imbues multiple layers of lacquer with the craftsman's soul, delivering serene art into your hands.
"Specifications: Two sizes that fit comfortably in your hand" At Shikkā, we offer two sizes that can be chosen according to the user's hand size and preferred feel.
23cm (Refined size): A standard size that fits comfortably in both men and women, making the hand appear relaxed and elegant.
Ideal for gifts or for use as a pair.
21cm (Lightweight size): A size easy for those with smaller hands to handle, as light as a fingertip to move.
For those who want to enjoy everyday meals more lightly.

"tsugarukaze: a breeze that refines everyday life" A tradition passed down over three hundred years in Tsugaru, Aomori.
tsugarukaze is a lifestyle brand that brings comfortable refinement to your daily life through sincere craftsmanship nurtured by the northern climate.
Its stylish appearance that harmonizes with modern living is highly popular as a gift for loved ones or as a special item to brighten everyday life.

"Robustness achieved through meticulous layering of lacquer over dozens of coats" Unlike typical lacquerware, it involves over thirty layers of lacquer.
The layers can sometimes reach forty or fifty.
The thickness carefully built up layer by layer by the craftsman, assessing the lacquer's condition, boasts high strength.
The durability, which craftsmen pride as "lasting ten years," surpasses mere tools and becomes an asset for walking together through many years.

"Shikkā — the layered beauty revealed through craftsmanship" A unique design that makes the patterns sleeping deep within emerge as light by carefully polishing the black lacquer layers.
Since the lacquer layers are carved away one by one, no two patterns are the same.
As it is used over time, the lacquer's gloss deepens, and the dormant colors become more vivid — a crystallization of years.

"A unique, robust pattern that defies wear" Thanks to the extremely thick lacquer layers created by the lamination technique, even the tips of chopsticks that contact daily tableware have high durability.
The intricate patterns, with fine scratches accumulated over years of use, blend into the scenery, proving beauty and practicality that cannot be achieved with inexpensive mirror-finish lacquerware.

"A precision chopstick tip like a wine glass that influences the 'mouth happiness'" Just as a fine wine glass changes the taste of drinks, the texture of the chopstick tip determines the impression of the dish.
The exquisitely polished tip, crafted by skilled artisans, delivers the temperature and texture of ingredients directly to the tongue without interference, enriching and clarifying the flavor of everyday meals.

"A comfortable feel and the light handling enabled by 21cm, and beautiful gestures enabled by 23.5cm" The moist, finger-adhesive feel created by layering natural lacquer on natural wood.
The nimble 21cm size allows delicate movements like an extension of your fingertips.
Its light handling makes relaxing drinks and small snacks more enjoyable and comfortable.
The confident presence of 23.5cm offers practicality, easily grasping large ingredients through leverage.
The carefully calculated center of gravity naturally and beautifully aligns the user's hand movements.

"A single tray to cherish yourself and organize daily life" The warmth of lacquer touching your palm amid busy days.
When welcoming the "light" created by meticulous craftsmanship to your dining table, meal times become a gentle moment of self-care.
Adding serene art to daily life elevates everyday moments; it is a perfect reward for yourself, an ideal birthday gift for men with a taste for quality, or for women with high aesthetic standards.

"Protection with gift box and OPP bag" It is packed in a dedicated gift box with a brand card and leaflet included.
To prevent dirt and dust during shipping and to reduce box shifting, it is delivered protected in an OPP bag.
You can use it with confidence even when handing it directly to someone after arrival.

"A bridge to celebrate life, not struggling to eat" Chopsticks symbolize long life and health, embodying the wish "not to struggle with eating," and their paired form is considered a "bridge connecting people," making them auspicious.
We confidently recommend them as gifts for important milestones such as Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Kanreki (60th birthday), wedding celebrations, Respect for the Aged Day, and as popular gifts that bring joy regardless of age.

"Easy maintenance that fits into modern life" Despite being genuine lacquerware, it is compatible with household dishwashers (low-temperature, water flow cleaning).
Our commitment is that no special care is needed, allowing you to enjoy it daily without worry.
Please enjoy a luxurious time using traditional craftsmanship as everyday tools.
