GATO MIKIO

GATO MIKIO was founded in 1908 as Gado Woodworks in Yamanaka Onsen, Ishikawa Prefecture, the town of the potter's wheel.

They inherited the philosophy of the woodworkers who used the wheel to carve wood to make bowls, trays, and other woodwork, and have always valued the beautiful grain of the wood and the perfection of the carefully ground wood.

And they have made many lacquer ware products with a focus on the perfection of the wood.

Precision of their woodwork

The reason why their products attract people is because they combine the traditional techniques of Yamanaka lacquerware with a modern sensibility in their designs.

The beauty of their lacquerware will continue to grow with time, and will not fade over decades.

Gorgeous craftmanship!

Bought two of these bowls in the red color. They are beautifully made and make the miso soup look even more appetizing! Really enjoy using these bowls.
