In 1998, business owners and craftsmen who have been carrying on the tradition of Kaga Maki-e in Kanazawa City came together to develop new products geared to modern society. As one result of this endeavor, a high-end watch with a maki-e disk was created in collaboration with BOVET, an up-market watch maker of Switzerland.
With this successful collaboration, we gained momentum and extra motivation to plan and design new products. This groundswell of aspiration manifested itself in the establishment of the Cooperative Association for Promotion of Kanazawa Kaga Maki-e in December 2005.
