URUSHI
Concentrated lacquer tree sap has been in general use in all over Southeast Asia for more than 2000years. Its outstanding durability allowed wooden structure and artifacts to withstand against humidity and heat. Particularly in Japan, the techniques of making SHIKKI(Lacquer Ware) developed rapidly in the sixth century when Buddhism was introduced from China. Since then, SHIKKI has been widely used in daily life for furniture and tableware, and enjoyed as art objects. The charm of SHIKKI lies in its warm and soft feel created by craftsmen who have developed their skills through centuries.
