Artisan GATO MIKIO was originally founded in 1908 (Meiji 41) as Gato Sawmill in Yamanaka Hot Spring, a town famed for wood turning. Following the intentions and spirit of the original Kijishi wood-turners, they aspire to perfect the woodwork completed individually by their craftsmen. They make the most of the beautiful grain that only natural wood can offer, and they strive to highlight it in their products. This means they never compromise on the quality of their work and are proud of the quality of their materials, the precision of their wooden base work, and the clear look of their wiped lacquer finishes. Only after each element has been completed perfectly do they assemble them together to create their unique handcrafts. They continue to create authentic and long-lasting lacquerware pieces, pursuing functionality with traditional skills and artistry based on Japanese aesthetic sensibilities.
