Wajima-nuri：

A traditional Japanese lacquerware craft originating from Wajima City in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is known for its durability, intricate craftsmanship, and elegant designs. The process involves multiple layers of natural lacquer (urushi), often reinforced with Wajima jinoko (a special local clay powder) for extra strength. Skilled artisans hand-paint detailed decorations, sometimes incorporating gold, silver, or mother-of-pearl inlays (maki-e and raden techniques).

Due to its high-quality craftsmanship and long production time, Wajima-nuri is considered one of Japan finest lacquerware traditions.

This brush is a collaborative creation by Yoshiki, a master of makeup brush craftsmanship, and Hiroshi, a master of Wajima-nuri lacquerware.

The Wajima-nuri master has incorporated richer and more layered colors into traditional techniques, earning multiple awards both domestically and internationally. In 2024, he also crafted a pair of coffee cups for then U.S. President Joe Biden, showcasing his exceptional artistry on a global stage.
