Tsugarunuri is a traditional lacquering technique originating in the northern part of Japan. It is a long process, with each project, including these cups, taking several months to complete. To achieve richness and depth of color, several coats of lacquer are applied and allowed to dry. Once the lacquering is complete, the dried lacquer is scraped off to make beautiful and complex patterns. Because the process is done by hand, no two patterns will ever be the same. Your cup will be the only one of its kind in the world!
