We offer a comprehensive conservation service for urushi objects.
All the treatments are proposed based on the current principles of conservation and restoration of urushi objects in Japan.
In cooperation with the Kyushu National Museum, scientific investigations such as X-ray CT analysis can also be carried out if necessary.
Examples
- Cleaning
- Structural stabilisation
- Filling chipped and lost areas
- Consolidation of the urushi coatings
