Urushi and Japanese culture | Kazumi Murose | TEDxTokyo

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
Gold or silver maki-e adds unique splendidness to the glossy urushi. In this talk, Kazumi Murose, who has become the living national treasure since 2008 as a maki-e craftman, explained the beauty and durability of lacquer wares, and the perpetual values beyond generations, and tried to attract attention to the wonderful urushi once again.
