Clad 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 the Tsugaru region.
We named its dignified presence "Shikka."
Over many months, polishing the light that has been honed, into the palm of your hand.
"Embedding 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 infuses multiple layers of lacquer with the craftsman's soul, delivering serene art into your palm.
"Specifications: Two sizes that fit comfortably in your hand" At Shikka, we offer two sizes to suit the user's hand size and preferred feel.
23cm (Refined size): A standard size that fits comfortably in both men's and women's hands, and makes the hand look 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, and that moves lightly like fingertips.
For those who want to enjoy everyday meals more lightly and pleasantly.

"Tsugarukaze: A breeze that refines everyday life with a single sip" Tradition passed down over three hundred years in the Tsugaru region of 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 times" Unlike typical lacquerware, it involves layering over thirty times or more.
The layers can sometimes reach forty or fifty.
The thickness carefully built up layer by layer by the craftsman, judging the condition of the lacquer, boasts high strength.
The durability, which craftsmen pride as lasting "more than ten years," surpasses mere tools and becomes an asset for walking through many years with you.

"Shikka — The beauty of stratification revealed through craftsmanship" A unique design that brings out the patterns sleeping deep within by carefully polishing the jet-black lacquer layers.
Because 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, crystallizing the passage of years.

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

"Precision chopstick tips like wine glasses that influence your 'mouth happiness'" Just as a fine wine glass changes the taste of a drink, the texture of the chopstick tips determines the impression of the dish.
The exquisitely polished feel of the chopstick tips, crafted by craftsmen, delivers ingredients' temperature and texture directly to the tongue without interference, enriching and clarifying the flavor of everyday meals.

"Comfortable touch 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 multiple times.
The nimble 21cm size allows delicate movements as if an extension of your fingertips.
The light handling makes evening drinks and small snacks more enjoyable and comfortable.
The stately presence of 23.5cm offers practicality, such as easily grasping large ingredients using leverage.
The calculated center of gravity naturally and beautifully adjusts the user's hand movements.

"A single meal to cherish oneself and organize daily life" The warmth of lacquer touching the palm amid busy days.
When welcoming the "light" created by careful craftsmanship to the dining table, meal time transforms into a gentle moment of self-care.
The luxury of adding serene art to daily life, elevating everyday moments, is perfect as a reward for yourself, as well as a popular birthday gift for men with a refined taste or women with high aesthetic awareness.

"Protection with gift box and OPP bag" It is packed in a dedicated gift box, with a brand card and leaflet enclosed.
To prevent dirt and dust during shipping and to reduce box movement, it is delivered protected in an OPP bag.
It can be safely handed over after arrival.

"A bridge to celebrate life, not struggling to eat" Chopsticks symbolize long life and health, embodying the wish "not to struggle to eat," and are considered auspicious as a "bridge connecting people" because they come in a pair.
Confidently recommended as a gift for important milestones such as Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Kanreki, wedding celebrations, Respect for the Aged Day, and other life events, or as a popular gift enjoyed 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).
The commitment of Tsugarukaze is that it requires no special care and can be enjoyed daily without hesitation.
Please enjoy a luxurious time using traditional craftsmanship as everyday tools.
