Zohiko 1661: Three Centuries of Kyoto Lacquer Artistry
Founded in 1661, Zohiko is one of Kyoto's oldest and most esteemed lacquerware houses, known for preserving and refining the techniques of Kyo-shikki, Kyoto-style lacquer. For over three centuries, Zohiko has produced lacquer pieces that unite functionality, beauty, and cultural heritage.
Every item is handcrafted with layers of urushi (Japanese lacquer), meticulously polished to a luminous finish. Traditional motifs such as flowing water, cherry blossoms, and gold maki-e (sprinkled design) reflect Kyoto's refined aesthetic and sensitivity to the seasons.
Today, Zohiko continues to innovate while honoring its legacy, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary design to create objects that embody the essence of Japanese elegance.
Each piece is not merely a vessel but a living expression of Kyoto's artistry: quiet, enduring, and profoundly beautiful.
