Craft Gallery & Shop MIKURA Kanazawa

The shop’s guiding idea is “+e,” or “plus essence”: a thoughtful addition to tradition. Its selection invites visitors to discover pieces rooted in inherited materials and techniques that feel at home in contemporary life.

The official website introduces makers working in lacquer, wood, metal, and accessories. Individual artist and workshop profiles offer a closer look at the materials and making processes behind the pieces.

C-Brain / Hanamokko

Handcrafted in a Kanazawa workshop, these watches feature dials made with traditional materials such as mineral pigments, gold leaf, washi paper, and urushi lacquer. They bring the colors and textures of Japanese craft into an everyday accessory.

Kawashima Tategu / Kumiko

Drawing on Toyama’s joinery traditions, these pieces feature kumiko, a form of intricate wooden latticework. The range presented on the website includes Enju coasters and Miyabi pieces, bringing geometric patterns to the table and home.

MIKURA Originals / Yuragi

These made-to-order earrings feature mizuhiki, decorative Japanese paper cords. Customers can choose their colors, and each pair is crafted by hand in a Kanazawa workshop, with options for pierced and unpierced ears.

These are examples of the shop’s selection. Please check with the store or online shop for current displays, availability, and order options.

The selection brings together crafts and artworks from across Hokuriku, including pieces by Asada Shikki, Masui’s dry-lacquer workshop, Nousaku, Yasuhiro Sumii, and Taniguchi Seidosho. Visitors can explore different materials and techniques across a range of regional craft traditions.

The related website KANABEE introduces and sells works by graduates of Kanazawa College of Art, extending the opportunity to discover regional creativity from craft into fine art.

The shop is immediately to the right of the Ochaya Museum, the former Nakaya teahouse designated as a cultural property by Kanazawa City, when facing the museum. Inside, gallery displays sit alongside the retail space.

The online shop lets visitors browse by maker, region, or category, making Hokuriku crafts and gifts accessible from farther afield. Updates from the shop are also shared on Instagram.

Opening hours and closing days may change. Please check the latest official information before visiting.
