What Kiso Urushi (Yoshihiko) is known for
Operating since the Bunkyu era of 1860, this Fukushima workshop turns honoki magnolia and hinoki cypress into cutting boards, ohitsu rice tubs, steaming boxes, and wooden bath stools and buckets, alongside lacquered pieces. The business was incorporated in 1990 but keeps producing the same everyday kitchen and bath woodware it has made since the 19th century.
