Excerpt from Contribution to the Knowledge of Japanese Lac (Ki-Urushi): Thesis Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Bern, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Lacquer trees grow up straight and have fairly symmetrical crowns. The young trees have fine, large, pinnate leaves, which in good soil often grow to be more than a meter long, and far exceed all other species of Rhus in size and beauty. The leaves are unequally pinnate and have long stems. Before falling off in October they become yellow or reddish brown. There are from nine to fifteen leaflets, large, oval, pointed and unindented, which have fine short hairs on the under side.

Rein1 states that the Japanese doubtless received their knowl edge of the lac industry from the Chinese in the early part of the third century; but that its use did not attain great importance before the middle of the seventh century. Kotoku-tenno, the 36 Mikado (645 to 654 A. D.) had a ceremonial head covering of paper, which was covered with black lacquer. There is a lacquered scarf box in the temple at Nara, which belonged to a priest in the time of Kinnari Tenno 540 to 572 A.
