Fukiurushi Kit
MASTER CLASS #3
Add value to any wooden piece
Urushi has been around for centuries in Japanese culture and had now become an endangered art due to the surge of plastic in the world. This Fukiurushi Kit enables you to add a beautiful coating to any wooden product. Hardened urushi lacquer forms a protective waterproof coating that repels mold and mildew, and also prevents rotting and weathering.

While Urushi is the foundation for the famous Kintsugi repair, it can be used to protect and upgrade various materials. Fukiurushi is the most approachable way to apply the lacquer simply by putting a small amount on cloth and applying by wiping the cloth on the surface. Hardened urushi lacquer forms a protective waterproof coating that repels mold and mildew, and also prevents rotting and weathering.
