Tumbler AKATSUKI/SHIEI

Tumbler AKATSUKI/SHIEI

The vivid design shows the movement of a craftsman’s brush. This gem combines delicacy with strength, and has an elegance that draws the viewer in. The color of the lacquer will change over time to create a calmness, evolving over time into a tumbler that is uniquely yours. The process is one of the pleasures of this product.

After the entire surface is coated with lacquer (candy color), the work of brushing is very delicate.
The brush is applied gently at a constant speed, and the pattern is drawn diagonally, so that not even a moment is lost until the brush is released. The concentration and delicate technique are truly craftsmanship. The pattern is so dynamic that it is as if you can see the movement of the brush, and no two tumblers are alike.

The texture of the uneven surface is unprecedented in feel, yet it feels natural and comfortable in the hand. The fine texture that comes to you every time you hold it in your hand will make you feel even more elegant. The craftsmen who poured their skills into this gem have also created a feel that is not apparent from the outside.

After the base coat is applied, before the lacquer dries, it is covered with dry lacquer powder (finely crushed lacquer) and the process is repeated twice to make the unevenness more distinct.
After that, the lacquer is carefully polished with sandpaper and wiped three times to bring out the color and luster of the lacquer.
A total of 10 processes are involved in the lacquering process alone, and the combined skills of three craftsmen have resulted in a one-of-a-kind texture that has never been seen before.
