SHIRASAGI Sibo Series:

When urushi lacquer is mixed with protein, a chemical reaction occurs, causing the mixture to become sticky. Pounding the lacquer forms fine angles, resulting in a unique finish. This process, known as shibo-urushi, has been utilized since ancient times and is commonly applied to tray backs due to its durability and non-slip characteristics. The SHIRASAGI Sibo Series benefits from this practical method, offering a tactile sensation akin to fine leather that molds and absorbs into your hand.

The series offers 8 vibrant color variations, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best, adding to its appeal.

Crafted to complement modern dining tables using an old-fashioned construction method, Shibo-Urushi is a traditional yet practical technique known for its durability and non-slip features. The colors derived from this traditional method are tailored to suit modern dining settings.
