Lacquer is the sap of the lacquer tree, a precious gift of nature that can only be extracted from a mature tree 10 to 15 years old in the amount of one milk bottle.

We have been purchasing the collected lacquer and refining and blending it.

As time goes by, the refining technology and equipment have progressed, and we have changed from the hand-made Kurome at the beginning of the company to the mechanical refining using a “kurome bachi,” or literally, “blackened bowl.”

Our appreciation for lacquer has remained unchanged since the company’s founding: “Not even a drop of lacquer should be wasted.

We are providing a lacquer that meets the needs of our customers.
