Maruyoshi-Kosaka aims to be a craftsman's workshop that can continue to take on new challenges without becoming complacent. Since its establishment about 70 years ago in Kiso-Hirasawa, a small town along the old Nakasendo highway surrounded by deep forests, Maruyoshi-Kosaka Lacquerware Shop has always been engaged in the business of lacquer.
