cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis process is repeated multiple times to enhance the wood grain, while also adding a natural luster and protective finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Fuki-urushi\" Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nApplying raw lacquer \/ Refined transparent or lightly tinted urushi (natural lacquer) is applied to the wood surface using a brush.\u003cbr\u003e\nWiping with cloth \/ Excess lacquer is carefully wiped off with a cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\nDrying under controlled humidity \/ The piece is placed in a humidity-controlled box called a muro to dry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis cycle of applying, wiping, and drying is repeated 5 to 10 times, gradually building up a rich luster and deep texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e    \n    \n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures of \"Fuki-urushi\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBy wiping off the lacquer, the natural wood grain remains visible, resulting in a beautifully transparent and organic finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nRepeated applications of lacquer create a deep, rich luster with a sense of depth.\u003cbr\u003e\nThanks to the properties of urushi, the surface gains enhanced water and decay resistance, helping to protect the wood.\u003cbr\u003e\nOver time, the sheen deepens, adding character and charm with age.\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause the lacquer coating is thin, the texture and warmth of the wood can still be felt—one of the key appeals of this finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\u003cbr\u003e  \n\n\u003c!-- 折り畳みの内容ここまで
