As a natural material, ethically sourced urushi is environmentally responsible. While raw urushi can cause skin irritation, it becomes perfectly food-safe and durable once fully cured. This makes it ideal for long-lasting repairs of ceramics, porcelain, and other items.This Urushi is specifically crafted for Kintsugi (traditional Japanese gold repair) and Maki-e (traditional Japanese lacquer work). We exclusively collaborate with Japanese suppliers, and this product originates from a reputable Urushi refinery in Japan. Unlike some suppliers who may not disclose their sourcing, our product is not imported from the mainland. We are committed to providing you with authentic Japanese urushi for your traditional kintsugi ceramic repairs.Specifications:Quantity: 20g sealed tubeColor: BlackExpiry: Recommended for use within a year of opening.
