The Art of Japanese Lacquerware

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. Kurosaki Yuki brings expertise in urushi lacquering, maki-e gold decoration, and chinkin carving to their practice.
