This technique is also in use today to create contemporary objects of timeless beauty and high durability.

The History of Inden – the art of Lacquered Deerskin

Inden is the art of creating beautiful lacquer designs on deerskin.  The craft of Inden started in 1582 during the Sengoku period for the production of some of the garments used for Samurai armours.

The art form, techniques and patterns used in 1582 are still in use today at Inden-Ya.

It takes many weeks to create each product and every deerskin lacquer product is entirely made by hand.
