Bringing White
to the Heart of Everyday Life

For a century, we have manufactured authentic shikkui using traditional production methods. Building on this expertise, we developed our manufacturing and retail business for interior items and other lifestyle products, designed to make it easier for people to bring the benefits of shikkui into their everyday lives. Through functionality and design that add a little joy to each day, we deliver a healthier way of living.

DIY

"Nuri2 " is a shikkui product developed by Tagawa Shikkui Labs—whose lime plaster is used in various cultural properties—with improved workability so that even the general public can apply it to their homes as a DIY project. Since the primer and finish are included as a set, you won’t have to worry about forgetting to buy any materials, making it easy to enjoy applying shikkui by yourself. You can also choose your favorite shade from a wide range of colors, including 100% organic “Natural White” and shades colored with mineral-based inorganic pigments.

Lifestyle Goods

Here you'll find our shikkui products that take on unexpected forms — from "ecopo," a kit that lets you knead shikkui and clay by hand to mold your own original plant pots, to "Lumie cube," a shikkui deodorizing accessory that blends into any interior and offers long-lasting odor-neutralizing effects simply by being placed in a room.

"Cats × Shikkui" Campaign

This project was launched to raise awareness of “NURI2,” a DIY shikkui, and to address the challenges faced by cat lovers. By leveraging the plaster’s natural deodorizing properties and its ability to prevent cats from scratching walls, we also accept inquiries regarding renovations for cat shelters.In addition to our specialized trowel, “Nekote,” we are exploring new product lines to promote a living culture where cats and people can coexist healthily.
