Attention painters, potters, and swordsmith artists!
Long awaited low-allergenic Urushi is finally available! This product is much safer than other traditional Japanese Urushi lacquers.
The risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low due to the addition of a special protein substance that coats the Urushi and safeguards it from skin exposure.
Our low-allergenic Urushi can be mixed with other pigments to add more brightness. This Urushi is often used for Kintsugi and Fuki Urushi technique.
Also used for honji (houji) primer to make fountain pens.
It is also known in Japan that any natural whetstone's backside needs to be reinforced with Urushi paintings. Pure (Seshime) Urushi is applied for this purposes.
Depending on how much strength you want, 3--10 painting are normally required.
Please remember, one Urushi lacquring takes 4--7 days to dry in a drying cabinet called "Muro," so this can be a long process.
