Urushi Lacquer Panel | Isuke Shoten

Urushi lacquer has been used in Japan for thousands of years to decorate and protect a wide range of objects, including furniture, tableware, and musical instruments.
The process of applying urushi involves multiple layers of lacquer, each of which must be allowed to dry and harden before the next layer can be applied.
This process can take several months to complete.
Urushi lacquer is prized for its unique luster and the depth of its color.
It is also highly resistant to water and heat, and can protect objects from scratches and other forms of damage.
