Each piece is hand-painted by artisans through various processes to achieve a uniform color, making it an extremely elaborate piece. Okura Touen has developed numerous new techniques to realize its founder, Magobei Okura's, dream of "creating the ultimate work of art." This has resulted in the creation of unique beauty. For example, the iromaki (lacquer-sprinkled) technique expresses a depth and lustre of color that cannot be achieved with other techniques. This technique involves sprinkling pigment powder on lacquer and then carefully rubbing it with a cotton ball to allow it to soak into the lacquerware. Due to the labor-intensive nature of this technique, it is currently a secret held only by Okura Touen among manufacturers. It has received acclaim worldwide. Perfect for relaxing moments alone, family get-togethers, or casual tea time with friends, the colors of "Iromaki" create a heart-warming atmosphere. A soft, matte pink, this vibrant yet subdued color is our most popular. It's a fun series to collect different colors. "Iromaki" is produced in a variety of colors.
