Japanese urushi is 4 times the price of Chinese urushi, and Chinese urushi is not cheep. 30 dollars for the Chinese... 120 dollars for the Japanese lacquer. I'll take the 30.
That is what I usually say, but I started thinking. Japanese tea, good. Chinese tea, good, but really not the same.
Today I bought the Japanese urushi. I will use it on my new Ichio boxes for my October exhibition. I am interested to see how it works.
