Kakichi

This traditional lacquer ware craftsman shop creates, sells, and repairs Japanese home furnishings. It is directly operated by the Mori Kakichi Shoten shop. Founded in 1909, with the motto of 'living with Japanese craftsmanship', this shop has handed down the craft of lacquer ware works over the years. The shop, a warehouse converted to a gallery, carries a large variety of items including folk ceramics, traditional toys, blown glass, small folk fabric items, as well as wine glasses with a creative twist. The reasonably priced small decorative art items are popular with customers. The artisanal craftsmanship of Kagawa lacquer ware was fostered by the historic Matsudaira clan of the Takamatsu Domain during the Edo period.
