MEGURU — Aizu Urushi Lacquerware

From the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, MEGURU carries forward a lacquerware tradition stretching back to the Muromachi period. Working with natural urushi — the sap of the lacquer tree, used in Japan for over 10,000 years — MEGURU’s artisans transform wooden vessels into objects of quiet beauty and lasting strength.

Urushi is prized for its remarkable durability, its resistance to water, heat, and bacteria, and the warm, tactile quality it lends to wood. Each piece in the collection showcases techniques refined over centuries in Aizu, from fuki-urushi (wiped lacquer that lets the wood grain show through) to shibuichi (a method dating to the Edo period that recreates the look of aged metal) and tetsuji (an iron-ground finish with the visual weight of cast iron).

MEGURU is also committed to the future of its craft, dedicating a portion of sales to the planting and care of urushi trees — ensuring that the materials and traditions behind each piece endure for generations to come.
