Urushi Nuri - Negoro-nuri-spoonsLacquerware is made by coating and recoating materials like bamboo and wood with the sap of the lacquer tree, a tall deciduous tree in the cashew family. Lacquer is the material of a traditional Japanese craft that is centuries old. Lacquer is known to have as much protective strength as paint, and when made properly is resistant to alkali, acid, and friction. It is lightweight and durable, and lacquering is a favorite technique for coating most Japanese everyday things. #SakuraFubuki #sakura #UrushiNuri #lacquerware #lacquerpro (at Echizen, Fukui)
