If you thought Japan was all about gizmos and gadgets and a monotonous robotic lifestyle, think again. This ancient country has a tradition and culture that dates back thousands of years. The best example of this culture is exquisitely designed lacquered furniture, which is about 5,500 years old. We bring to you the Urushi lacquered wood bathroom collection that is the best example of emperor Jimmu’s excesses and also others in the royalty and nobility. The lacquer is green and environmentally friendly and is made from tree sap. The handmade wood tubs not only are smooth and silky, but they will add an elegance to your bathrooms. It can stand temperatures of up to 800 degrees, and the designer, Yukio Hashimoto, suggests you keep the tub in the garden or somewhere you can appreciate the beauty of nature and art. It is available in the characteristic combination of black and red. Furo’s lacquered wooden bathtubs and bathroom accessories bring home ancient and exquisite Japanese elegance to your bathrooms.
