Urushi Lacquer – handcrafted by Nobuichi Otake, Traditional Artisan

Urushi is a paint created from the sap of the lacquer tree, famed for its extraordinary durability and deep color and texture. Its history is ancient, with the world’s oldest lacquerware believed to be a 9,000-year-old burial ornament discovered in Japan. Lacquer crafts are used in many parts of Asia, and it is a technique that has become synonymous with Japan – so much so, that in other countries the word “Urushi” (lacquer) is sometimes translated simply as “Japan” alone.

Bridle leather originates from the United Kingdom, and is a leather used for horse harnesses. The high grease and wax content of the leather provides it with a high level of durability, and produces a characteristic white pattern on the surface known as “bloom” as the wax solidifies. This bloom takes on a familiar glossy effect as it ages, imparting the tanned leather with a sophisticated appearance which can be appreciated as time goes by.
*Please note that if the wax component on the surface is removed, it will no longer be water-resistant.
