In order to make the most of the characteristics of Aizu paulownia, we have finished it with "Kijiro lacquer," which allows you to enjoy the beauty that comes with age.
Kijiro-nuri is a traditional lacquer painting technique that requires highly advanced skills using transparent lacquer.
While being as durable as regular lacquer, it also brings out the beautiful grain of the Mishima Aizu paulownia wood to the fullest, and when you pour beer into it, it is a visual treat as well as a taste treat.
Highly precise woodworking techniques
The Aizu paulownia beer tumbler is carved by Katsusuke Arai. His natural dexterity and accumulated technical skills have enabled him to create a breathtakingly beautiful form and texture. The prevention of condensation is also a result of the woodworker's techniques and ingenuity.
Enjoy the changes in lacquerware with "Kijiro-nuri"
To preserve the beauty of the Aizu paulownia wood's texture while achieving a color that changes over time, the lacquer was applied by Yushin Sakane, a specialist in "Kijiro lacquer." Kijiro lacquer, which has a heavy, subdued luster, is the most advanced lacquer technique, and is the work of Yushin Sakane, who has devoted himself to studying Joboji lacquer (Iwate) for many years.
