Hirono Hiroshi An Echizen lacquerware piece featuring the Ainu-style "fire" motif! This is a collaboration between Sumio Watanabe, an artist from the Akan Lake Ainu Kotan, and "Rok urosha", a workshop in Fukui Prefecture that produces Echizen lacquerware. On lacquerware with a foot shaped after the Ainu ritual tool "tuki", we applied Ainu patterns representing ape (the Ainu word for fire) using maki-e technique. It is recommended as a souvenir for visitors from abroad or as a gift for those who appreciate Japanese history and traditional crafts. This time, we offer two types: a bowl and a cup. The bowl is suited for various soup dishes, including the traditional Ainu soup "ohaw". Please feel free to use it daily together with the cup.
