結婚のお祝いに伝統工芸品を贈る

Giving a traditional Japanese craft as a wedding gifts

Some couples may choose to have their wedding in June because of the legend "A bride who marries in June will be happy - June Bride".

So, in honor of the June Bride, we would like to introduce some traditional Japanese crafts that are recommended as wedding gifts.

We would like to convey our feelings of congratulations by entrusting them with an object. But if you are wondering what to give, please refer to this page.

Kawatsura lacquerware bowls for a couple of gourmets

Kawatsura lacquerware is finished without leaving any paint marks, allowing you to enjoy the original smoothness and luster of lacquer.

Another feature of Kawatsura lacquerware is its solidity, which is achieved through long hours of smoky drying of the wood and careful undercoating.

In Japan, lacquer bowls are standard for miso soup. Overseas, they can be used as soup bowls. We think that Kawatsura lacquerware bowls, which are durable and long-lasting, are perfect for wedding celebrations.

Coffee canister made of Cherry bark work for a couple loving coffee

Cherry bark is best known for its use in tea caddies, but it can also be used to store other things besides tea, such as coffee.

They are excellent for protecting tea and coffee from moisture and oxygen and keeping them in good condition.

This piece can hold 160g of coffee. It is also stylish as an interior decoration, so it is recommended as a gift.

Takaoka copperware vase for a couple loving flowers

This vase has a "Yariume" design with flowers and buds on straight branches. It works well in both Japanese and Western interiors and with both Japanese and Western flowers.

This is a great choice for couples who are particular about their home decor and for couples who love flowers. Two different shapes are available, so why not choose the one that best fits your image?

Copper vases effectively inhibit the action of bacteria, making the water less prone to spoilage and keeping flowers fresher for longer.

Think of the bride and groom when choosing wedding gifts

In fact, there are some gifts that are considered inappropriate as wedding gifts in Japan.

These include ceramics and glassware, which are associated with "breakup", knives, which are associated with "separation", and food and consumables, which are associated with "disappearance".

Today, however, fewer people care, and ceramics and glassware have become standard wedding gifts.

If you put your heart into choosing something that fits the bride and groom's hobbies, personalities, and living environment, I am sure they will be delighted.

For gifts, we also offer wrapping and greeting card services. We hope you will consider giving a traditional Japanese craft as a gift for your wedding celebration.
