Discover isuke's 190 years of History
Isuke was founded approximately 190 years ago, around 1830, in Kyoto as a manufacturer of lacquer materials. Originally a manufacturer of lacquer coatings, Isuke has played a vital role in supporting the traditional craft of Japanese lacquerware by providing coatings to lacquer-producing regions throughout Japan.
Leveraging its history and achievements, as well as its connections with artisans, Isuke has launched its brand, uniquely positioning itself as both a manufacturer of lacquer raw materials and a purveyor of lacquerware products. At a time when lacquerware is increasingly disappearing from the lives of younger generations in Japan, the Isuke brand has taken it as its mission to reintegrate lacquerware into daily life.
While broadcasting the inherent allure of lacquerware— the warmth of wood, the moisture of lacquer, and the beauty that comes with age—Isuke also combines modern designs that appeal to the younger demographic, continuing to create wonderful products.
