漆URUSHI（Lacquer） It takes 10 to 15 years for a lacquer tree to produce lacquer, and the amount of lacquer that can be extracted from a mature tree is only about 200 ml. The value of lacquer has been said to be comparable to that of gold. Since ancient times, the Japanese have valued the rarity and artistic value of lacquer. Maki-e (a traditional technique of painting pictures and designs on lacquerware using lacquer, sprinkling gold and silver powder, and further polishing) was introduced to the Western world at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in the 19th century, and lacquerware became a symbol of Japan, and the term “japan” was used to describe lacquerware.
