Japanese Lacquerware (Urushi)

Japanese Lacquerware (Urushi)

Japanese lacquerware, known as urushi, is valued for its refined simplicity and lasting beauty. The process of making lacquerware by applying layers of sap from the lacquer tree onto hand-carved wooden pieces is both time-consuming and highly skilled.

The lacquer sap must be handled with care while wet, but once cured, it creates a durable and long-lasting finish. This technique results in pieces that are both functional and visually striking.

At Chidori Vintage, we offer a curated selection of vintage and traditional Japanese lacquerware, including trays, bowls, and storage boxes. Each piece reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define this enduring art form.
