Fujii Works

Fujii Works

Fujii Works, a family collective led by Kenichi and Minako Fujii in Hyogo Prefecture, specializes in crafting lacquer ware. Derived from the sap of the Urushi tree, native to Japan and a few other eastern countries, the urushi sap undergoes a 3 to 5-year aging process after extraction.

Applied in thin coats, mature urushi serves as a durable protective layer on vessels, hand-turned by Kenichi and treated with lacquer solution by Minako. Each meticulously crafted item reflects years of dedication, elevating the traditional technique to an art form.
