This product is a collaboration between ORIGAMI and Maruyoshi Kosaka Lacquerware.
Featuring a cherry wood dripper holder crafted by Hayakawa Woodworking in Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture, and hand-finished with black lacquer by Maruyoshi Kosaka Lacquerware. Due to variations in the wood grain, the black lacquer exhibits a natural gradient of light and dark, subtly revealing the natural wood tone underneath.
The cherry wood feels warm and comfortable to the touch, while the black lacquer will become increasingly lustrous and refined with long-term use. As the wood grain gradually emerges through wear and use, it becomes a one-of-a-kind piece that ages gracefully with you. It combines a minimalist aesthetic with the charm of meticulous Japanese craftsmanship.
About Maruyoshi Kosaka Lacquerware
Founded in 1945, the company is located in Kiso-Hirasawa, a small town along the old Nakasendo trail in the Kiso Valley of Nagano Prefecture. Under the leadership of third-generation successor Reo Kosaka, the brand carries on the traditional Kiso lacquerware craft while breathing new life into it with modern design.
※ This product is entirely handmade; the wood grain and lacquer shades will vary uniquely for each piece. Scratches and marks from use are a natural part of the aging process of lacquerware; we invite you to appreciate these characteristics.
