Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten's latest magewappa, crafted from natural cedar white sapwood, features a new twist. While white sapwood has traditionally been considered as a leftover material, its ability to enhance the color of lacquer and its brightness that resembles water and milk can provide fresh insights into sustainable craftsmanship.

Crafted with natural lacquer instead of chemical coatings, the artisanal pieces from Shibata Yoshinobu Shoten, such as the GENPEI series, are able to evolve in appearance with each use, unlike the instant peak of chemically painted items. From the initial awe upon acquisition, to the joy of nurturing and using it over time, you can savor the experience. May the power of natural materials in the GENPEI series contribute to your daily life, becoming not just tools, but also embellishments.
