Founded in 1990 in Seki, Gifu—a city with a 700-year legacy of blade-making—Atelier Kawakami elevates functional tools into works of art.

Utilizing proprietary urethane coating techniques featured in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Expo 2025 Osaka, and traditional Kabuki theater props, each piece is meticulously hand-painted by master artisans.

Durable, scratch-resistant, and requiring no special maintenance, our high-gloss finish and vibrant colors transform traditional craftsmanship into a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art.
