I visited this completely new lacquerware craft-brothers. 100% Japanese “Urushi (lacquer)” artwork. This is the “art.” It takes almost 8 to 15 years to make one! Its pinpoints’ precision, texture, design… are just amazing.
Urushi’s quality is almost the same as amber that will last almost permanently, not only in Japan but in anywhere around the world.
Normally, lacquerware’s base is wood. Then, shroud cloth and lacquered on the wooden basis. It just goes through so many more procedures and takes 6 months to 1 year to complete one lacquerware.
Painted lacquer is a very strong material resource but depending on different climate condition, wood basis and cloth are not very strong that it will start cracking.
However, this new type of artwork and technique “Shin Shitsu,” it uses almost 100% lacquer to create almost permanent “art.”
Currently, Yamagishi brothers are creating a website to promote more about “Shin Shitsu*” to the world. So that people all over the world will know about “Shin Shitsu.”
*Direct translation of “Shin Shitsu” is “Core Lacquer,” meaning that an artwork of its “Core (Shin)” to surface is all based on or full of “Lacquer (Urushi in Japanese).”
