We will apply urushi coating for architecture and furniture.

I am a Japanese traditional craftsman certified by the Japanese government.
I use the techniques I learned by working on urushi painting at many temples.

About Yao Urushi Kougei

I have painted many temples, shrines and historic buildings with urushi. I use that technique to paint buildings, furniture and interiors with urushi. There are many other craftsmen who apply urushi to small crafts, but I specialize in applying urushi to large materials. I use no chemical paints or materials, only pure Japanese traditional techniques. It achieves a higher level of perfection and durability.

The value of work that no one else can

Currently, even in Japan, craftsmen with honkataji base → natural urushi lacquer brush coating → roiro mirror finishing technology are rare.
I have a track record of over 35 years of construction work in 150 temples.
(Certified as a nationally designated traditional craftsman)
In particular, it is characterized by creating an accurate mirror surface that overturns the common sense of urushi lacquering by hand.

The true beauty of work that inherits tradition

We use only traditional construction methods and materials. The resulting product is durable and robust. In some cases, the finished product can retain its beauty in 100-year increments.

For those who are urushi lacquering overseas.
