Your Donation Contributes to Securing Future Urushi Resources

We ask for your support in our efforts to protect urushi resources.
Once, Japan was rich in urushi trees, but production has stalled due to the importation of cheaper Chinese urushi, leading to widespread deforestation, even in regions once famous for urushi production.

With the Japanese government’s policy to use domestically produced urushi for the repair and restoration of national treasures and important cultural properties, demand has surged, leading to a tight supply.

Our company is advancing the planting of urushi trees across various regions and initiating research into new methods of urushi collection to enhance productivity.

However, our small-scale efforts alone are insufficient to protect the endangered domestic urushi.
We need the cooperation and support of many people to nurture and safeguard urushi.

Your generous donations will be dedicated to revitalizing domestic urushi production and enhancing its value.
