Appi Lacquerware Workshop

Hachimantai City

Central Iwate

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.

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.
