京漆匠 象彦 京都寺町本店

Zohiko began in 1661 as a Kyoto lacquerware shop. Its name comes from a single framed picture: the third-generation Nishimura Hikobei's maki-e panel of a white elephant and Fugen Bosatsu became famous in the capital, and 'Zohiko' joins the 'zo' of 'ivory shop' with the 'hiko' of Hikobei. The official online shop states its products are 'all made in Japan, by hand'. Design motifs called okime, built up over 360 years, have become a new Japanese brand. A Tsubomi cup costs ¥11,000; a small sushi plate costs ¥16,500.
