Pipe Tsuge Urushi series four seasons the summer with the Iris billiard form

Tsuge Urushi Shiki pipes are masterpieces completely handmade by artists using the Japanese lacquer technique.

Urushi is the most valuable Japanese lacquer in the whole Orient.

The peculiarity of Urushi, unlike other traditional handicrafts, is that it has a totally native, Japanese origin, that is, without having been imported from abroad.

The lacquer is applied in layers, waiting for complete drying, before moving on to the next one.

In this way a hard crust is formed which can be carved.

The hollow parts are filled with layers of contrasting lacquer or other materials, especially mother of pearl.

Another technique, posterior, consisted in applying layers of lacquer of different colors, then the surface layer (usually black) was carved to bring out the different colors.

Other decorative techniques are inlays with gold (chinkin), engraved patterns (kinma) and hidden images (mittae).

The Tsuge Urushi four seasons series pipe emulates the traditional Japanese design that represents summer with Iris flowers.
