If someone who is not familiar with Japanese culture hears the term "Japanese lacquerware," what kind of impression do they get I have heard that "lacquer" can also mean "a spirit varnish." Does it give an impression of being harmful to the body?
I am Japanese and interested in how Japanese culture is translated into English.
When someone unfamiliar with Japanese culture hears "Japanese lacquerware," they might imagine a luxurious, high-quality, and intricately designed product, possibly with a rich, glossy finish. The term "lacquer" might evoke associations with elegance, refinement, and tradition.
However, the term "lacquer" can also refer to a type of spirit varnish, as you mentioned. In this context, some people might worry about potential health risks or toxicity associated with the term "lacquer." But, in the context of Japanese lacquerware, this concern is largely unfounded.
Japanese lacquerware, also known as "urushi," is made from the sap of the lacquer tree (Rhus vernicifera), which is native to East Asia. The sap is harvested, refined, and applied in multiple layers to create a durable, waterproof, and food-safe finish.
While it's true that urushi lacquer can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, the finished lacquerware products are generally safe for use. In fact, Japanese lacquerware has been used for centuries to create beautiful and functional items, such as bowls, cups, and utensils, that are safe for everyday use.
So, while the term "lacquer" might raise some concerns, Japanese lacquerware is generally a safe and stunning example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
