The Art of Japanese Lacquerware

Japanese lacquerware, or urushi, represents one of the world's most refined decorative arts. The meticulous process of applying and polishing multiple layers of tree sap lacquer creates surfaces of extraordinary depth and durability, often embellished with gold, silver, and mother-of-pearl. Toda Tomoyuki brings expertise in urushi lacquering, maki-e gold decoration, and chinkin carving to their practice.
