Urushi is a lacquer art with a long history in Japan. Raw lacquer is extracted from the resin of Urushi tree (also known as sumac or Japanese lacquer tree). These trees are mainly produced in Japan and China. Similar to rubber trees that produce rubber, these trees can only collect resin once a year, which is rare and precious. The resin collected for 35 years can be processed into a very wear-resistant, honey like lacquer. When lacquer is applied, the raw lacquer should be thinly coated on the daily necessities such as bowls and boxes.
