Marubon / Night ZOO

Kaga / Yamanaka Onsen is a production center for lacquer ware. There are various craftsmen's activities, and the town where daily work is done is a land that many people visit in recent years as a tourist destination.

Yasuharu Ooka, who paints Marubon, is a 45-year veteran of Yamanaka lacquer ware. He has been a urushi-e studio since his predecessor, but when he was young, he also worked at Hitachi Zosen for industrial painting. Such experience adds to his knowledge of color development and color tones, and his study and commitment to his technique as a traditional craft.
