About the Artwork
I applied vermilion urushi lacquer on the chrysanthemum formed vessel and finished it with layers of transparent lacquer. I painted the inside in the same way with black urushi lacquer.

InstructionsAfter use, wash with a neutral cleanser, rinse with water and wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Do not leave water stains. As lacquerware is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, avoid displaying in a room where the sunlight comes in for a long time. Direct sunlight is strictly prohibited as this may cause discoloration.
Techniques Used
Dry lacquer
For works of dry lacquer (kanshitsu), first a clay form is created and plaster is used to take a mold of the form. Next, repeated layers of hemp cloth and lacquer are applied to the mold until they are built up to the desired thickness. Finally, the mold is removed and additional coats of lacquer are applied to finish the piece. The hemp fibers are strengthened when the lacquer bonds with them, making dry lacquer an excellent technique for creating sturdy forms with a significant degree of freedom.
