  • Yamanaka Urushi-za (Yamanaka Lacquerware Traditional Industry Hall)
    Travel / Tourism
    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamanaka Onsen Tsukatani Machi I268-2
    The most distinctive characteristic of Yamanaka lacquerware, a traditional Yamanaka Onsen craft, is the use of a technique called “kiji” which involves carving out the shape of a piece from raw wood. This area, known as Sugatani-machi, is the home of many world-class artisans who carry on this technique utilizing a lathe to carve away the wood. Located five minutes from the heart of the Yamanaka Onsen hot spring district, this shop displays and sells a diverse array of Yamanaka lacquerware. Dating back to the distant Azuchi-Momoyama period, Yamanaka lacquerware is notable with the smoothness of the lacquer, which adheres extremely closely to the wood; and its fragrant, woody smell. Encountering Yamanaka lacquerware in person stimulates all five senses in a way photographs cannot possibly convey. Here customers can purchase Yamanaka lacquerware at the kind of reasonable prices you’ll only find by going direct to the source; visitors can also watch live demonstrations of artisans using a lathe to carve out a piece for later lacquering.

    This studio produces Kutani ware, a craft whose origins date back to the early Edo period when a kiln was built in Kutani Village deep in the mountains of Yamanaka, Ishikawa Prefecture. Standing in front of the Yamanaka Bus Terminal and identifiable by its red iron oxide-painted latticework, the studio makes and sells original Kutani ware which carry on the traditions of the art form. The shop’s staple and popular Kutani Oval, a beautiful, curving bowl similar to Western-style tableware in design, combines simplicity with an elegant appearance. Customers rave that the oval bowl, its pure white setting off the beauty of its form, enhances the elegance of any meal. In the Circulo teaching studio on the second floor, you can try making your very own, one-of-a-kind Kutani ware piece.
