Vision
Products that people "want to use because they're cool," not confined to the category of crafts. What we value most is that our lacquer products make us feel "I want to buy them myself and use them every day."
About THE URUSHI
Wakabayashi Butsugu Seisakusho is a long-established company in Kyoto that has been producing Buddhist altars and ritual objects for generations. We have inherited, refined, and continuously improved traditional Japanese craft techniques such as lacquer coating, gold leaf, and maki-e.
"It's not that it has value because it's traditional; I want to use it because it's cool."
From this idea, the lacquer brand THE URUSHI was born. We deliver 200 years of lacquer craftsmanship to your everyday dining table.
