URUSHI Lacquer Coating
Highly Rare and 100% Ecological.

• URUSHI lacquer is a 100% ecological coating material made from sap of special trees (Rhus Verniciflua). One tree can produce 200ml sap at most in a lifetime which makes it highly rare.

  The history goes back as far as 3.4 million years to the Stone Age when URUSHI lacquer was used as an adhesive in Asia. With high resistance even to acid and alkali and a natural tendency to solidify at room temperature the 100% ecological coating has developed suitable for daily use.

• It was the Japanese however that first recognised the beauty inherent in lacquerware.

  URUSHI lacquer trees may grow in other Asian countries but Japanese ones are famous for containing the most amount of sparkling component (It is named in Japanese Urushiol.). Our URUSHI lacquer has 65-70% of shining urushiol in comparison to others' 5-10%.

  The perfectly smooth surface reflecting the light and sparkling vivid colours. We refined the coating technique to the level where it became nothing but art.
