Echizen lacquerware has a history of 1,500 years. It dates back to the 6th century, the end of the Kofun period. When the 26th emperor was still a prince, he ordered a lacquer craftsman (now in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture) to repair his broken crown.
The lacquer craftsman repaired the crown with lacquer and presented a black lacquered bowl to the prince, who was so impressed by the magnificent workmanship that he encouraged the production of lacquerware in the Katayama community. This is said to be the origin of today's Echizen lacquerware.

The careful craftsmanship of each piece is evident. The vermilion and tame-nuri lacquered spoons are smooth to the palate and can be used for desserts, porridge, and other dishes.
