From the Kurono website:
Introducing the first product of our new Kurono x Hiroshige line, the 'Tamenuri Maki-e' box - Bringing together what we think are the best in traditional Japanese art and handcraft into a single product:
- Urushi lacquer
- Kuro-tamenuri lacquering technique
- Maki-e of an original ukiyo-e artwork by Hiroshige
The box is first constructed in wood, made to kuro-tamenuri urushi standards and then left for limited curing. A further process of maki-e is then applied to the box with the ukiyo-e ‘Japanese Bellflower’ design and script by Hiroshige. An additional layer of urushi is applied, before being left for full curing.
