An encounter between a traditional lacquering technique from Kyoto and a brush that aims for comfort of use.
The more you use it, the more the wonderful craftsmanship will strike you, bringing you fresh joy every day as you admire the lacquer that appears reborn with every touch.
A handicraft rooted in everyday life.
Traditional craftsmanship shines through in the details of the brush, and has been nurtured by the hands of many people throughout Japan, telling the story of the country’s nature, climate, and history.
ReFa's function and design, which has pursued the quality of professional techniques, intersects with traditional techniques to create something unprecedented.
A new door opens from Kyoto, an elegant town with a thousand years of history where tradition and culture are close at hand.
Japanese lacquer dries after absorbing moisture from the air, and is also known as "living paint."
Carefully hand-applied by craftspeople,
the lacquer is given plenty of time to dry so that it retains its moisture.
The upshot is a surface that feels moist and warm,
making for a handle that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
"Wabi-Sabi" is a Japanese aesthetic sense of refined simplicity.
It has been passed down as a unique piece of culture even in Kyoto,
which flourished as Japan's capital for a thousand years.
The high-quality glossy vermilion red lacquer and maki-e gold powder with
its restrained luster give a sense of fragility and create a sense of depth and calmness.
The Japanese lacquer continues to change even after completion.
Friction with your hand polishes the surface,
making the vermilion-red color more vivid and the luster more transparent.
The color and luster that change with long use will make you grow attached to the brush.
Comes in a gorgeous box, making for a perfect gift.
With a dedicated cover that protects the bristles from bending or getting broken, you can easily carry it around.
