She developed the brand to connect the traditions of Yamanaka with contemporary life, and to bring attention to the people whose work is often present in an object but absent from its story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the brand's development, Tanabe traveled repeatedly between Tokyo and Yamanaka Onsen. Color and form were not settled on paper alone. They were refined through prototypes and conversations with the craftspeople who understood how different woods, tools, and layers of lacquer would respond. When a color appeared uneven or brighter than intended, or a shape needed to work better in the hand, the design returned to the workshop for another round of judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eMany Hands, One Object\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamanaka lacquerware is built through specialized work. One person may turn the wooden form on a lathe; others may refine lacquer, prepare the ground, or apply and wipe successive layers. YUIYU makes that collaboration part of the story rather than hiding it behind a single name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRokuro-biki, or lathe turning, gives the wood its balanced form. Fine sensuji lines may be cut into a rotating surface, creating rhythm through minute, repeated grooves. With fuki-urushi, lacquer is applied and carefully wiped back in repeated stages, allowing the grain of the wood to remain visible. The apparent simplicity of the finished object rests on a sequence of specialized decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTradition as a Living Relationship\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name YUIYU repeats the Japanese character *yui*—to bind or connect. It expresses a wish to connect people, nature, culture, and the skills held in Yamanaka Onsen. The aim is not to make tradition appear modern by removing its history. It is to create a new reason for that history to remain in use: at the table, in a room, and in the rituals of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA Traceable Collaboration\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistance becomes smaller when the collaboration remains visible. Portraits and workshop photographs show the people and place behind YUIYU, while views of turning, sensuji carving, and fuki-urushi explain how specialist skills meet in one object. Together they make the brand’s division of labor visible without reducing the work to a single name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\/* LONGFORM_REPAIR_V1:MAKER *\/section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER]{padding:clamp(24px,4vw,64px) 0!important;min-height:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER]:empty{display:none}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__lede,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__intro,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h2{max-width:100%;width:100%;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;overflow-wrap:anywhere}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h2{font-size:clamp(32px,4vw,64px)!important;line-height:1.15;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:24px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__story-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr);gap:32px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__story-card{display:block;min-width:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-row{display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:36px;align-items:start}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy{flex:1 1 340px;min-width:0;width:100%;max-width:100%}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot{flex:1 1 340px;min-width:0;margin:0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot:empty{display:none}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot img,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot video{display:block;width:100%;height:auto;aspect-ratio:auto;object-fit:contain}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care{display:block}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care figure{max-width:760px;margin:0 auto}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care img{display:block;width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care-copy{padding-top:24px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-source,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__care-copy{font-size:clamp(16px,1.6vw,20px);line-height:1.8;overflow-wrap:anywhere}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy p,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-source p{margin:0 0 1em}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h3{margin-bottom:28px}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h4,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] h5{font-size:1.15em;line-height:1.4;margin:1.4em 0 .7em;font-weight:600}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts{display:block;margin:24px 0 0}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts\u003ediv{display:block;padding:24px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #cccccc}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts dt{display:block;margin:0 0 12px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.5;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase}section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-longform__facts dd{display:block;margin:0;font-size:clamp(24px,3vw,40px)!important;line-height:1.4;overflow-wrap:anywhere}@media(max-width:780px){section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-copy,section[data-bj-layout=\"TEXT_FIRST_ID01_V2\"][data-mzl-role=MAKER] .bj-text-photo-slot{flex-basis:100%}}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Hana to Urushi LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43834199474239,"sku":"BJ_P_00019","price":15498.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/8842\/3743\/files\/hero-white-background-v5.png?v=1788697377","url":"https:\/\/www.brand-japan.store\/products\/yamanaka-lacquerware-bud-berry","provider":"BRAND JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
