    Two 20-year-olds from Hirosaki who are starting an outdoor brand are currently looking for people to help make their Tsugaru-lacquered Sierra cup lids.

    There are 4 types of Tsugaru-nuri Sierra Cups that are made by recruiting supporters. The Sierra Cup is a wide-mouth metal cup that can be used for a variety of purposes, making it popular not only for campers but also for daily use. The Sierra Cup Lid is the lid used for the Sierra Cup. Tsugaru lacquerware is used for the point design of the Sierra Cup.

    The outdoor brand is launched by Shintaro Tsushima and Ryoma Sakuraba. The two are in their 20s and live in the Iwaki area. Mr. Tsushima says, ``I like the outdoors and go camping a lot.Sierra Cuprid is sometimes used as a plate, but it doesn't have much of a design.By applying Tsugaru lacquer, you can emphasize Tsugaru, and you can enjoy it along with the aging of Tsugaru lacquer. I wanted to make an item," he said.

    Mr. Sakuraba was in charge of designing the brand's logo and four types of Sierra Cupids. The Tsugaru lacquerware was produced by the gallery shop ``CASAICO'' (Joto Chuo, Hirosaki City), and was handled by Tsugaru lacquer artisan Yoshihiro Kimura.

    Mr. Sakuraba said, ``I didn't know much about Tsugaru lacquerware, but as I was making prototypes, I came to know its charm.It was more difficult to apply it to a single area than to apply it to the whole thing, so I stuck with our request until the end.'' I have nothing but gratitude."

    Returned items include four types of Tsugaru-lacquered Sierra uplids, ``Shizuku,'' ``Akatsuki,'' ``Homura,'' and ``Kai,'' as well as original logo stickers, tote bags, and T-shirts. 28 types in total starting from 1,500 yen.

    Mr. Tsushima said, ``I have an idea that goes well with outdoor goods such as Tsugaru lacquerware, Tsugaru koginzashi, and Aomori hiba. Starting with this crowdfunding, I am planning to create a new project called ``Next Natural'' that goes well with outdoor goods such as Tsugaru lacquerware and Aomori hiba. ``I want to launch a community-based, environmentally friendly outdoor garage brand with the concept of ``.''

    Crowdfunding is until November 5th.
