*URUSHI is made from the sap of a plant that grows in Japan, China and the Southeast Asian area. It is used as a natural coating agent. Because URUSHI is a natural material, it is harmless. Besides, it has been used from ancient times because of its beauty and durability.
In Japan, it was already in use during the Jomon period (B.C.10th century) on bows, arrows and combs. It has also been used on important Japanese cultural assets like: Horyu-ji Temple, Chuson-ji Temple and Kinkaku-ji Temple.
