Lacquer ware is one of the most famous
Japanese traditional crafts, and it is

Throughout the long-standing history, the
technique of Japanese lacquer has been
improved and refined. Lacquer ware is
usually wooden-made, Urushi is a natural
paint extracted from urushi tree, and its
original tone of color and brightness firmly
draw a line from others. This painting and
polishing processes are repeated several
times to robust the products.
After the lacquer ware is carefully painted,
it is sometimes decorated with gold powder,
gold foil or nacre to make it shinier. Hence,
Japanese lacquer ware is crafted through
various manufacturing processes. These
Japanese lacquer wares vary from everyday-
use items such as soup bowl, rice bowl,
plate and cup to luxury furniture and tea
ceremony set. These products are symbols
of Japanese culture and are deeply rooted in
our daily life.
