We partner with the largest urushi refinery in Fukui Japan to provide you with KI URUSHI (also called Raw Urushi).   
 
KI-URUSHI Japanese urushi lacquer is the essential ingredient in making adhesive and fillers in kintsugi craft. 
 
Fukui Prefecture is known as the birth place of urushi with 1500 years of history.  The region is still an active craft town with lacquering and maki-e artisans making lacquerware in the traditional methods. The process of urushi refining remains largely hand-made, requiring highly-experienced artisans.  
 
WHY CHOOSE OUR URUSHI PRODUCT?
Unlike most resellers of urushi and kintsugi kit,  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.
