Business Card Holder - Brass + Urushi Lacquer A

Sale price€49,90 EUR

The brass business card holder + urushi lacquer A 

At the heart of this creation is the use of Mino Tezuki Washi paper, a Kozo paper originating from Gifu Prefecture. Made by traditional artisans from Nagano, this artisanal paper-making technique has been awarded the prestigious status of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The meticulous application of lacquer and kaki tannin on each sheet by these skilled artisans creates a rich and immersive texture that deepens and transforms over time.

The intrinsic charm lies in the irregularity of the lacquer's texture, the enchanting luster of its uneven surfaces, the deep and dark hues of persimmon tannin, and the subtle shine of brass. These materials, with their innate variations and sensitivity to the passage of time, offer a visual and tactile journey through the essence of Japanese craftsmanship.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Brass and copper naturally patina over time. Oil and air will naturally darken this piece and make it shinier. This is part of its natural beauty. Do not use chemicals to clean it. If it is exposed to water or humidity for long periods, the metal may change color more quickly or develop spots.
