Right next to Nihonbashi, Kuroeya's show window was decorated with giboshi in Nihonbashi.

Genroku 2 (1689), a famous lacquerware production area, a person who came to Edo from Nagusa Kuroe Village (now Hainan City) in Kii Kuni (1689)

It started with the opening of a lacquerware shop in Nihonbashi.

It has been 300 years since the curtain was raised on the side of Nihonbashi.

After the war, during the turmoil, there was a time when various items other than lacquerware were placed in stores.

One day, an antique shop mistakenly for a secondhand dealer and came to sell giboshi when Nihonbashi was wooden.

It seems that this was also a connection for something, and it was taken over and left as it was, but if you look closely ...

"September 1658 Bo Dog Year (1658) September 1658 lucky day Nihonbashi Carpenter Shiina Hyogo" was engraved.

Many people who understand that it is the right thing of history are displayed on the show case at the entrance of the building.

The portable shrine at Nihonbashi 1-chome is made to imitate this giboshi.   

 

     Confectionery utensils and clocks ... painted clocks are likely to be appreciated as souvenirs to foreign countries.

     I put lacquer on a basket made of bamboo.

     It seems that the more you use it, the more you see it.  It's wonderful as a summer bag.

    I thought it would be good for a wedding gift or a souvenir to foreign countries.

We handle a lot of goods, but the above are some of my attention.

In addition, we also repair old lacquerware.

If you repair something you have forgotten in the house, it will be revived beautifully.
