At the age of 13, Onishi Isao left home to study the art of ‘urushi’ – a traditional Japanese technique for making beautiful lacquered objects. Learning from a master of lacquer for 10 years, he became totally absorbed by the craftsmanship of this artistic tradition.

The artist creates exquisite trays, bowls and plates by bending strips of aged wood into rings and fitting them tightly together. A special lacquer is then applied to the wooden structure, and is decorated with fine colourful designs. Each one can take a whole year to make!
Watch the full process in our mini documentary – link in bio!? Onishi Isao (b. 1944), round tray in hoop-built technique. Lacquer on wood, 2005. This film series has been produced with the support of JTI.
