Urushi x Glass
Urushi, Japanese lacquer, is the sap of the Urushi tree. After removing water and impurities from the sap, the Urushi can be said to be the Urushi itself. I chose colorless and transparent glass as the material to reflect its beauty.
The beauty of the transparent Amber color is the color of Urushi itself.
Makie x Glass
Maki-e is a decorative technique that uses metal powder and Urushi.
By using a transparent glass material as a base, it is possible to create a sense of depth in Maki-e.
Inspiration from nature is fresh. Glass is the perfect material to express this.
