We partner with the largest urushi lacquer refinery in Japan to bring you with Red URUSHI for kintsugi use.   
 
Red-URUSHI is used in base, mid or final priming.  It can also be used as final finish in kintsugi.   Choosing red or black urushi as final undercoat depends on the metallic powder you would use in the kintsugi repair.  
 
Fukui Prefecture is known as the birth place of urushi with 1500 years of history.  Established in 1573, Minowa is a major refinery of urushi in Japan supplying to lacquer and maki-e artisans all over the country.    Over the years, a few machines have been introduced, but the process of urushi refining remains largely hand-made, requiring highly-experienced artisans. 
 
WHY CHOOSE OUR URUSHI PRODUCT?
Unlike most resellers outside of Japan,  Goenne meets with Japanese urushi artisans and experts from the refinery bi-annually to assess current and new urushi products, to bring you our recommendation that is most suitable for kintsugi practice for overseas users.
