Yosuke Urakami 浦上陽介 pays attention to detail and ensures that his works not only retain the original appearance and texture of the materials, but also reflect the beauty that lacquer art adds to the work. And due to this reason, he is fond of using silver foil in his creations. The vulcanized silver foil can produce a smoky effect, and create a stunning vintage speckles pattern.
