Lacquerware
Lacquer (urushi) has been an integral part of the Japanese
lifestyle and is treasured
for its many qualities. It has been used as a protective and
decorative coating material for at least six thousand years
in Japan. The traditional Japanese New Year repast is incomplete
without lacquer ware. Particularly, special decorative lacquered
tiered boxes are brought out at this time to contain the festive
fare. Today, urushi is even used to decorate such things
as elevator doors and computer cases.
