UV coating of KYORAKU KOUGEI, the highest quality “mirror finish.
The history of UV coating dates back to Germany. Originally, the purpose of painting was to accentuate the grain and color of the wood by coloring, and to protect the surface of the wood from scratches, stains, etc. When wood is used for cosmetic purposes, lacquer has been used in Japan since ancient times to achieve this purpose and texture. On the other hand, in 1967, the German company Bayer succeeded in commercializing ultraviolet curing (UV) paints that cure in an extremely short time. This made it possible to expand its use to fill in the gaps in inlays, mother-of-pearl inlays, and other crafts due to its high hardness and transparency, and to develop it into high-end furniture and architectural interior materials due to its combination of beautiful finish and surface protection.

We provide robust and distortion-free “large, mirror finish” products that are unrivaled by other companies.
As a result of our efforts to further improve our skills and accumulate know-how, we have been able to offer the highest quality “mirror finish” that combines texture and quality that other companies in the industry cannot match.
In addition, the unique heat-resistant base coating makes it resistant to burning by cigarettes, etc., and also allows the use of electromagnetic cookware. In addition, we have developed one of the largest coating facilities in Japan based on our unique polishing technology and skilled craftsmanship. This makes it possible to handle large coating surfaces and achieve a uniform finish.

KYORAKU KOUGEI’s foil craftsmanship: Creating a “solemn and elegant space” with “foil processing technology,” which is based on Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship.
Gold and silver fascinate the whole world. The beautiful brilliance of gold and silver can be decorated with Kyoto’s foil craft techniques to create materials and products that are gorgeous and full of elegance.
Foil is a thinly stretched metal such as gold, silver, platinum, or aluminum, and is used in art, especially in paintings, where it is made as thin as three thousandths of a millimeter.
Since ancient times, in the field of art, foils have been applied to the surface of paintings, crafts, etc., or cut to express patterns, making use of their gorgeous beauty.
Also, with the arrival of Buddhism, it has been used in large quantities for Buddhist paintings, statues, and tools. It has been used in a variety of ways, such as lacquer maki-e, gold folding screens, and as a background for paintings, to name a few commonly known examples.

It is no exaggeration to say that only KYORAKU KOGEI can manufacture such materials. We offer materials with new designs and functions based on our abundant know-how and knowledge, including high-quality luxury furniture and furnishings.The word “zogan” means “to shape” and “inlay” means “to fit. The original meaning of Zogan is to fit different materials into one material, and there are metal Zogan, wood Zogan and ceramic Zogan.
Zogan is said to have originated in Damascus in what is now the Middle East (Syria) and was introduced to Japan in the Asuka period via the Silk Road. In the Edo period (1603-1868), many excellent craftsmen were born in Kyoto and other cities, and they are said to have wielded their skills in making arrangements for Japanese swords, armor, mirrors, netsuke, paper boxes, and stacked boxes.
Not only metal, but also colored wood, bone fragments, shells, and ceramics are sometimes used as materials.
