Product History
When did these crafts start to craft?:400 years ago / 1600AD / Edo period in Japan
In the early Edo period (1600s), a woodworker was ordered to finish a tray with transparent lacquer to bring out the beautiful grain of the hammered and split Spanish mackerel wood. At the time of its birth, it was mainly used as tea utensils. But from the later Edo period (1800s), trays, stacked boxes, and other common household items were also produced and became available to the general public. During World War II, the use of the product temporarily declined, but after the war, it made a comeback as a production center. In recent years, demand for souvenirs has been increasing.
Craftsman Story
Craftsman Profile
Buddhist Altars Studio Horio
We manufacture and restore Buddhist altars in Hida Takayama.
We have been in business for over 100 years. At the time of our founding, we were mainly engaged in the restoration of Buddhist altars.
Since then, we have increased the number of craftsmen and have a store with a workshop attached, and we manufacture and restore butsudan ranging from gold butsudan to Hida Shunkei butsudan.
Craftsman Passion
"To preserve Hida Shunkei Nuri for future generations."
Currently, the demand for Buddhist altars is decreasing, the number of craftsmen is decreasing and the technique is dying out.
In order to preserve the Hida Shunkei Nuri technique for future generations, we are applying Hida Shunkei Nuri to skateboards and developing new crafts that fit the times.
