Tenbikurome-urushi



Tenbikurome-urushi
Last week during a very chilly but sunny day we have made "Tenbikurome-urushi" refinement of raw lacquer "ki-urushi" to become "Sukurome-urushi", highest quality transparent urushi. The ki-urushi was pourd into a wooden container and kept moving over almost 4 hours until it lost around 18% water. Very wonderful smell. Thisis the urushi I will use in 2018
