Gato Mikio Shoten was founded in 1908 as Gato Mokko Sho in Yamanaka Onsen, Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, a region with over 450 years of lacquerware production history. We strive to create lacquerware that is loved for a long time, pursuing practicality based on the high techniques of traditional Yamanaka lacquerware and high artistry based on Japanese aesthetics.
Commitment to Precision
Yamanaka lacquerware primarily uses the "vertical grain cutting" method, enabling a level of precision unattainable with the "horizontal grain cutting" method used in other regions. We pursue practicality through precision in the joints of lidded containers, and even for items without lids, we value the aesthetic created by the perfection of the wood.
Commitment to Silhouette
At Gato Mikio Shoten, the constraints of concentric circles created by lathe turning inspire an extraordinary commitment to silhouette. Based on traditional Japanese aesthetics, we eliminate unnecessary elements and pursue universally beautiful forms.
