Japanese traditional Lacquer is called "urushi" which is not synthesized from chemicals but natural product from "urushi tree". It is made by being painted and dried repeatedly (sometimes over hundred times for high class products).

Urushi ware is often used as a gift in Japan. As for wedding, it is used as a gift displaying her family icon and her name on it to introduce the bride to husband's relatives in some district of Japan.
