Japanese lacquer ware
Lacquer has been a part of Japanese tradition dating back to 6,000 years. Japanese lacquer is recognized the world over for its aesthetic and technical zenith.
Japanese lacquer comes from the urushi tree as sap. After a long period of aging process from 3-5 years, it can be applied as coating using different methods on countless forms and surfaces. A hardened urushi coating not only gives a high gloss to the finished product but also repels water, resists acid, alkali, salt, and alcohol, and insulates against heat and electricity.
