The Multi-Stage Painting Process

Creating an Urushi masterpiece requires a disciplined, multi-layered approach handled by specialized craftsmen known as Nu-shi.

  • Shita-nuri (Base Painting): The process begins with Sabi (Urushi mixed with polishing powders) to create a smooth, durable foundation. This base is typically painted two to three times.

  • Naka-nuri (Interim Painting): One or two layers are applied to prepare for the final finish. The color of this layer is carefully selected to complement the intended final hue.

  • Uwa-nuri (Finishing): This final stage achieves the ultimate luster and depth. On average, a pen is painted seven times, a process that takes two to three weeks before it is passed to the Maki-e shi (Maki-e master) for further artistic work.

The Art of Tame-nuri

The Tame-nuri technique is designed to create a visual effect similar to "looking into a pond." It relies on the unique properties of natural lacquer:

  • Translucency: There is no 100% transparent natural Urushi; the clearest version (Suke-Urushi) maintains a light amber or honey-like tint. This amber hue interacts with the base color to create a unique, shifting depth that synthetic paints cannot replicate.

  • Technique: To achieve a red Tame-nuri finish, red Urushi is used for the interim layers, followed by a coating of translucent Suke-Urushi. This makes the red appear as if it is sitting at the bottom of a clear pool.

  • Variations: This method can be applied to various colors, such as Midori-dame (Green) or Ki-dame (Yellow).

Production Realities

  • Low Yield: A single 10-12 year old tree yields only about 200 grams of raw sap—barely enough to paint ten small soup bowls.

  • Precision: Each layer is only about 0.03mm thick and requires approximately seven hours to dry under specific temperature and humidity conditions.

  • Origin Matters: Only Japanese Urushi can be refined into the high-quality Suke-Urushi required for translucent finishes. Lacquer harvested from China or Vietnam typically remains black and cannot achieve the same level of clarity.

Great design
Size: 25in
Ball is very durable yet soft. Whistles when you throw it and goes very far. Handle is ergonomic with a nice rubber grip. Both the launcher and ball glow green in the dark. My GSD loves it. She’s 75 lbs and the medium ball is fine.

Husband and dogs highly approve.
Size: 25in
My husband wanted us to replace one from a different company that broke. It had to have a glow in the dark ball, since he sometimes plays fetch with the dogs at night. He couldn’t love this more. Says it’s so much better than the other one, the whole thing glows in the dark and it throws farther. According to him, it’s the best ever.

Glow In The Dark Ball
Size: 18in
I gave this 4/5 stars because the ball is a little small for my dog size so I was hoping the sizing was easier to read. It could have been an error on my end. The ball is great though! It lights up nicely when it is out in the sunlight or under a light for a long periods of time, it lights up at night so you can play with your dog at night when it is cooler!

Well designed, well built.
Size: 25in
The stick facilitates powerful, long distance throws. The ball makes a light whistling noise (to help your dog track the ball) through the air, flys far, and has held up well. I live in an area with mountain lions, and they often hunt at night, so I haven’t taken advantage of the glow-in-the-dark feature.
