Kanoryu

Founded in 1959, Kanoryu grew out of the first-generation founder’s work as a lacquer artisan. The company continues his commitment to making traditional lacquerware more approachable and encouraging its use in everyday life.

Alongside lacquerware and wooden tableware, its range includes home accessories, interior furnishings, and decorative Yamanaka lacquerware. Across its collections, the company explores forms and finishes that feel at home on the everyday table.

Other collections include CHITOSE, /sou, and siki. Materials, finishes, and suitability for microwave or dishwasher use vary by product. Please follow the care instructions supplied with each item.

In a 2026 interview with Nihon Zenkoku Otoriyose Techo, Mr. Kano of the Sales Planning Department explained how his previous experience in retail informs product development. The approach considers both the pleasure of using wooden tableware and the ease of caring for it day to day.

The interview also describes a production model that combines wood shaping overseas with finishing in Japan. From material sourcing to the final finish, processes are tailored to each product to make wooden tableware easier to bring into everyday life.

Kanoryu welcomes inquiries about custom wooden tableware and home accessories, including small production runs. Designs and forms can be discussed to suit the intended use.

Product catalogs are available for businesses interested in stocking the range. Specifications, quantities, and lead times are discussed individually.
