The surface has a beautiful, natural luster, and the deep material has been coated using a special technique.
The special technique of urushi coating "Urushick" features a beautifully natural gloss on the surface, with a deep material coated using a special method. It has achieved a rich variety of colors. In addition to traditional urushi colors like red and black, it has also succeeded in developing light, pale hues. There are two types: the bright finish, which has a natural and warm gloss typical of urushi, and the sand finish, which has a semi-gloss type with a soft texture achieved through sand processing. The bright finish now includes new designs inspired by traditional maki-e patterns. For more details, please download the catalog.

Company information
In 1975, I received a request from Rosenthal in Germany to investigate traditional Japanese materials, and I selected lacquer, establishing the KISO Research Institute as its base. Together with eight members and professors from art universities, I began research on lacquer, and with design collaboration from Max Ticker, Burkhard Hocktheil, and Tetsuo Nakagawa, we developed modern furniture and URUSHI GOODS, which were manufactured and exported. Subsequently, to focus on domestic sales of URUSHI GOODS, the KISO Research Institute was transformed into Bushi Co., Ltd. In 1981, I opened a directly managed store in Roppongi Axis, unveiling URUSHI GOODS designed by Motomi Kawakami, capturing public attention. Since then, I have continued to challenge various traditional Japanese materials beyond lacquer up to the present day.
