SHURING is a wajima-coated charm, which attaches with a magnet and is designed to fit around wine glass stems. These charms were developed with the idea that wine glasses are suitable for enjoying the aroma and taste of sake, and it is not so unusual to see sake served in wine glasses at a restaurant. Despite being a traditional Japanese craft, urushi-lacquer-coated products are not widely used. SHURING offers Japanese tradition in a palm-sized, portable charm. The charm has been coated in multiple urushi lacquer layers and is then highly polished, providing depth and texture, while the magnet inside the wood makes it easy to attach or detach from the glass. When you look inside the glass, you can also enjoy the patterns and colors of the charm, especially the “Makie” series: the light through the liquor hits the gold powder and raden (sea shell), providing a glittering accent. The wajima-coated charm is a thoughtful expression of the Japanese spirit, conceived with the hope of creating a fusion of Japanese sake and Western style glassware, and bringing people together in the process.
