● Sparkling flowing water patternThis is the first product in the Urushi-ma brand and a long-loved series."Byakudan-nuri" is a traditional technique where lacquer is applied over patterns drawn with gold and silver foil or powder.

● The joy of nurturing it as you use itImmediately after lacquering, it has a deep amber color, but depending on the living environment and frequency of use, the color will change to a lighter shade at various speeds as you use it.Vessels made with natural lacquer have the joy of being nurtured as you use them, much like denim.
