Echizen lacquerware, with a history spanning over 1,500 years, is one of Japan’s most representative traditional crafts. Nurtured in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, its lacquer techniques have long been passed down as part of everyday life.

Lacquer develops its distinctive deep luster and strength through a process of repeatedly applying, drying, and polishing. This beautiful texture is brought to life through the skilled hands of artisans.

At BJ CLASSIC COLLECTION, this lacquer technique has been incorporated into eyewear. Each frame is carefully coated and polished by skilled artisans, layer by layer, allowing the deep, rich luster of lacquer to emerge.

Even within what appears to be a uniform color, subtle variations and expressions naturally arise. This is the unique beauty of lacquer—born from time and the craftsmanship of skilled artisans.
