Kiso lacquerware (Hirasawa lacquerware) Elegance and warmth
Do you know how to live an elegant and relaxing life?
For example, wood and lacquer.
Trees are the origin of everything, and humans cannot be apart from trees even for a single day. For example, trees exist in various forms in our daily lives, such as in people's names, family crests, medicines, paper, utensils, garden trees, building materials, etc. ...There is no life without trees. (Keiji Uehara)
At the end of the alley is the [Storehouse] Exhibition Hall
