Hacoa Red Urushi USB memory stick

The Urushi Kiku-Karakusa USB memory stick I got last month (earlier post) was the finest Hacoa product I have in my collection... until now. Well, this solid Red Urushi USB memory stick is even better as you can see the beauty οf urushi-oil. It is coated over and over by a craftsman until the surface becomes so smooth and reflective like a mirror!!! 

I have to admit that I really love Japanese urushi-oil lacquerware :-)

This had to be the finest Hacoa product I have in my collection!!!!!!! I had no doubt that it will look beautiful, but in reality, thanks to the silk screen print, it's simply stunning. I just cannot describe how beautiful it is in reality... If you are really into products that reflect the Japanese craftsmanship and tradition, then the Hacoa Urushi 菊唐草 is simply a must have item!!!

Perhaps the Hacoa product that reflects Japanese craftsmanship and tradition the most! It's not only out of a solid piece of wood, but it is also lacquer-coated. Lacquer (Urushi - 菊唐草) has been an integral part of the Japanese lifestyle and tt has been used as a protective and decorative coating material for at least six thousand years.
