    When you think of ``gentian'', you have the image of a bon flower, but in summer, it looks hazy and when combined with white flowers, it creates a cool feeling. In autumn, enjoy the contrast of colors such as yellow carnations and blue gentians, or pink roses and blue gentians. We deliver gentian flowers to all over the country from Hachimantai City, which ranks number one in Japan in both quality and production value.

    Appi Lacquerware Workshop

    The former Ashiro town was blessed with high-quality lacquer and raw wood, and was widely known as ``Arasawa lacquerware'' since the feudal period. Production was sluggish after the war due to the rise of plastic lacquerware, but Ashiro Shikki Kobo continues this tradition and continues to create easy-to-use lacquerware under the new name ``Appi-nuri.'' Using a generous amount of domestic lacquer, it is coated over 10 times from the base to the top coat, and is attractive for its vivid color and the deeper flavor that emerges the more you use it.

    Lacquerware Appi lacquerware

    Hachimantai City has long been known as one of the leading producers of lacquerware in the Tohoku region. Appi lacquerware was born by combining Hachimantai's long-cultivated traditional techniques with young sensibilities. It is characterized by a luxurious ``lacquer base'' that is coated with lacquer over ten times.
