I met Mr. Tsutsumi from Tsutsumi Asakichi Urushiten. As people’s values change with the times, it is important to value “ancient culture,” “the tools we have in our lives,” and “the nature that has nurtured us,” and pass them on to the next generation. UNBY empathizes with the “heart” of lacquer, and was able to realize this collaboration to help spread lacquer culture. A limited edition collaboration item covered in lacquer.

A rechargeable LED lantern that uses a lithium-ion battery. Although it is high at 200 lumens, the light source is designed to be difficult to see in order to prevent too much light from causing glare or making the inside of the tent too bright. As a result, the light is a little softer, creating a much better atmosphere.

Wiping lacquer is the simplest lacquer art technique, in which lacquer is repeatedly applied and wiped off on wooden objects such as chopsticks and bowls, making the most of the wood grain and creating a glossy finish. In this workshop, you will experience applying the first coat, and after it has dried, you will be able to continue with the work at home. You can also bring in your own wooden items such as outdoor gear and household tools to have them lacquered.
