JAPANESE LACQUER.
Some of 1t Il So Expensive That IL
Seldom Reaches Us.

Seldom Reaches Us.
In the billy country two industries
come to help agriculture-namely, silk
raising and lacquer. TO name only one
district, the villages along the Naka-
sendo have gained much by modern
improvements in silk raising. The
lacquer tree may possibly have been
imported from China, as so many
other trees and plants were, but it GER
tainly was known and used in Japan
at very early period. We are used
to thinking Of it as ornament only. 1t
Is that and much more besides, for
plain lacquer bowls and trays are al
most necessities Of daily life. They
raise most Of what is used in certain
provinces, but Tokyo imports good
deal Of juice to be manufactured
there.
The tree is a species Of rhus, closely
allied to our poison ivy and having the
same power to produce an irritating
rash on the skin. The workers get over
this. however, and do not have it
again, but they say that people some
times get it from handling bowls or
trays which have not been dried long
enough.
To get the sap the farmer cuts q
notch in the side Of each tree, and aft.
er time thick juice ooZes out; then
the farmer goes around with q wooden
spatula gathering the drops into a pail.
It will keep for long while, but must
not be allowed to dry up nor TO be
heated above certain point, for it
contains a peculiar acid which causes
the juice to ferment and harden. The
pieces that have been vanished must
therefore be dried in mild and moist
air. Tokyo in August is usually just
right, about 81 degrees.
A good piece Of lacquer has to be
most carefully made, in the first place,
and then varnisEed with layer after
layer, each being dried and polished
before the next goes on. Certain pig
ments mixed with it give red, black or
green. TO apply gold wash Of var
nish is laid where the design is to bo
and the gold powder sprinklel on from
q hollow bamboo stick with fine
sieve over the end. When it is dry it
must be revarnished and repolished
over all. With all these repeated proc
esses fine piece may lie on hand for
months, even years Naturally this is
not the kind that is prepared for for
eign export, for people abroad will not
pay for it.-Anna c. Hartshorne IL
