Urushi Lacquer Artist Mr. Koushu Nishihara was born into a family of Butsudan Maki-e artists in Hiroshima, Japan, and he has lived with, and worked in the traditional Japanese Art of Maki-e design all of his life. During his training in the Wajima Urushi Lacquer Institute of Art in Ishikawa, he has mastered the traditional Japanese Urushi Lacquer Art from the famous master Masato Ikawa and Chokou Watabe. Mr. Nishihara, who resides in the Hiroshima region of Japan, started working with Maki-e designs on Sailor’s fountain pens in 2002. He maintains the Japanese traditional techniques and yet he does not hesitate where necessary to bring new youthful ideas into the art of Maki-e. Many of his original and imaginative works of art are exhibited in traditional Urushi lacquer art shows in Japan and several other private exhibitions.
