Embarking on a hands-on, artistic journey, this project delves into an ancient method within the context of a modern world seemingly devoid of meaning. The focus is on urushi, a traditional Japanese lacquerware technique and material that has been perfected through the ages. Despite its historical significance, the respect and interest for urushi have waned, particularly in Sweden, where the material historically has been replaced to mimic its unique character.Through practical experimentation, theoretical inquiry, and reflective analysis, this thesis seeks to illuminate the significance of Urushi both as material and a carrier of values. It delves into the historical roots of Urushi, its material properties, techniques, and philosophical implications. By documenting the process of crafting Urushi objects and examining the values embedded within this craft, “Hidden Within Urushi” contributes to a deeper understanding of the enduring relevance of traditional crafts in contemporary society. The outcome of the creative process, where urushi stood as a guiding method, has resulted in a work setup containing two tables, two “furo” cabinets and a variety of tools. The initial phase of the process where the tools were created led to the creation of a chair, and a wall hung cabinet. Together this ensemble of objects becomes a micro interior that has been used during the process.
