Detailed Description
Urushi-e is a type of Japanese lacquerware that dates back to the 8th century. It is made by applying layers of lacquer to a wooden substrate, and then polishing the surface to create a smooth, glossy finish. Urushi-e has a long history in Japan, and has been used for everything from bowls and plates to furniture and sculptures. Some of the most famous urushi-e artists include Ogata Korin, who created the famous “Red and Black Lacquer” screen, and Shibata Zeshin, who is considered the father of modern urushi-e.
