Manufacturing and development of lacquer products.
Along with the wooden lacquerware, we are developing products of new materials combined with glass, metal (stainless steel / titanium), or acrylic to fit in the modern lifestyle.
Under the know-how of the lacquerware production acquired through repairing job, we support the production development of other companies.
We keep the level based on traditional craftsmanship, starting from product development all through to the manufacturing management.
Ever since the founding of first lacquerware repair shop in 1979, we supported and will support the reliable products that we use in daily life.
We guarantee your satisfaction in reforming the houses and shops, designing interior and exterior in general all through to painting furniture and fixtures with our own handling.
Also, we propose to install urushi lacquer paint in some part of the interior, to create the space even more luxurious.
We will plan and reform the business space for shops and offices, based on corporate plan and concept, to pursue the goal.
Not only the development. We also design, make proposal and art-work, and do all the interior work until the finishing touch. Along with the work, we also give those who live in it, lectures and seminars on lacquer -- its characteristics, future prospects, ways of use and how to handle.
We are collaborating with other companies of different industries and add value of urushi culture to the new product born between us.
The typical example of this is the golf club of Majesty Golf & Co., Ltd., the golf club coated with urushi and decorated with maki-e. It was introduced as a traditional Japanese technology and sold in Taiwan, India, China and Korea.
