漆器のアソベ

Asobe began in 1807 and has made lacquerware for eight generations. It started on the lacquering side: from Meiji to Taisho it kept a workshop in Sanjo and sold its own lacquerware at department-store exhibitions. For more than two hundred years, since the first Uemon, it has pursued a single standard — the beauty of the lacquered surface. Everyday pieces carry the same house character: a dishwasher-safe sturdy bowl (tame lacquer, sandalwood finish) costs ¥8,800 including tax, a ribbed cup ¥5,500, and a lacquered wooden care spoon ¥3,520.
