The Aomori Hachinohe-nuri Style of Lacquer Art
There are urushi lacquer centers all over Japan.
In Aomori Prefecture, tsugaru-nuri is a famous traditional art.
Urushi lacquerware art requires refined urushi lacquer coating techniques due to the properties of the urushi lacquer.
In modern times, there has been an increase in the number of artists who create works overflowing with creativity while learning traditional urushi lacquer.
Active urushi lacquerware artists must have a serious craftsman temperament leading to urushi lacquerware works having a high level of creativity featuring superior quality.
Hachinohe-nuri was named by Shimamori, a resident of Hachinohe, who after several years of training and learning traditional Tsugaru lacquerware, was impressed by the people who grew and collected lacquer in Hachinohe, giving birth to an awareness of the importance of conveying Hachinohe.
Aomori is a cold region, so the lacquer does not dry well and the color often does not come out well.
In order to improve the nature of the lacquer, the Tsugaru region, where lacquer layering has been refined, developed a technique called togidashi kawari-nuri.
Hachinohe-nuri is an exquisite form of lacquer art with a special texture that is deeply sensitive to human mind expressing the mental landscape through the repeated unique refinement of the layered lacquering process of the kawari-nuri technique.
