  • The lacquer is one of the most important resources for endogenous development and cultural reproduction in Wonju. However traditional and social network, which had been formed by lacquer farmers, group of lacquer-pickers, refineries, and lacquer-ware craftsmen, is being collapsed. It is due to the recent imports of raw lacquer from China and refined lacquer from Japan. Public sectors including Wonju city have continuously improved the potential of lacquer production by planting lacquers. However, the potential of lacquer production isn't under enough condition to realize its value. In this study, it is suggested that the efforts of public sectors to raise lacquer industry, focused on the improvements of lacquer production potential until now, should be concentrated on realization of the production potential by reconstructing social productive system which is composed of diverse groups involved in lacquer ware production.

  • Lacquer, in addition to high-end crafts such as lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl, was an important strategic material used in a wide range of fields such as industry, architecture, and munitions during the Japanese colonial era. In particular, as the demand for lacquer used in munitions soared in the 1940s when the war started, a ticket system was introduced to restrict its distribution. Meanwhile, Japan experienced a chronic shortage of lacquer as a result of the rapidly increasing demand for it, and thus went on to import Chinese lacquer after the late 19th century. After the 1910s, the market share of Chinese lacquer reached 90%, and the local situation in China began to affect the supply and demand for lacquer in Japan. To counteract the issue, the Japanese government increased the production of lacquer in Joseon. As for the project to increase lacquer production in Joseon, objective indicators were prepared through a number of tests in the 1910s and 20s, which paved the way for the project to begin in earnest in the 1930s. Lacquer trees were planted and training classes on how to collect lacquer were held throughout the country. The Japanese government promoted the lacquer production industry as a promising side job for Koreans. The project, implemented in various parts of the country, reaped fruitful results, and it provided the basis for lacquer production in Korea that has continued to this day. At that time, the major regions in the southern part of the country where the project was concentrated were Wonju, Okcheon, and Hamyang, regions that are still known today as major production sites. The improved method of collecting lacquer taught to Koreans by the Japanese has now become the main method of collecting lacquer in Korea. This study attempts to identify the current status of the project to increase lacquer production through various records from the Japanese colonial era with a view to contributing to the study of modern lacquer craft history.

  • Scientific methods for grading urushi lacquer includes general properties (viscosity, pH etc), and quantitative analysis of moisture, urushiol, gum, laccase content etc, and properties of coating layer such as set to touch drying time, gloss, color difference, delamination strength, tensile strength of film. The grading results evaluated by scientific method showed n order with chinese urushi lacquer (E) > domestic urushi lacquer (A) > japanese urushi lacquer (C) > chinese urushi lacquer (D) > domestic urushi lacquer (B). It is different from hose of traditional methods. Therefore, a more accurate grading of urushi lacquer should be ade by combining traditional method with scientific method.

  • Natural lacquer was cured at room temperature at a relative humidity of 60% at $27^{\circ}C$ to obtain a lacquer film. Photolysis of lacquer was investigated by irradiating 1~75 kGy of gamma ray to this lacquer film. No significant changes were observed in the range of 1~10 kGy radiation. As the radiation doses were increased, the white spots were increased in the scanning electron microscope photographs. The increase of the white dots of the lacquer surface shows that the lacquer is degradation by radiation. As a result of IR spectral analysis of the lacquer surface with increasing irradiation dose, there was no significant change in $3,445cm^{-1}$ hydroxide group, $2,900cm^{-1}$ hydrocarbon group, and $993cm^{-1}$ triene group. However, the $1,745cm^{-1}$ carbonyl group was found to increase, and the $1,715cm^{-1}$ unsaturated hydrocarbon group and the $1,463cm^{-1}$ methylene group showed a tendency to decrease.

  • The wooden lacquer wares, which had excavated from the water reservoir in the Isong Sansung Fortress, were applied with vacuum freeze drying method and treated, after they had been substituted with tbutanol, and treated with PEG-pretreatment. The manufacturing technique, which had not been investigated in the past, was examined through the investigation of the wood and the lacquer used for wooden lacquer wares, and the pieces of the lacquer wares, which had been stored for a long time, were restored for the exhibition and conservation. As the result, the wooden lacquer wares were manufactured, using black alder belonging to the group of Alnus, and the lacquer was painted on the bottom-layer by mixing the powdered soil and lacquer, and it was confirmed that the lacquer mixed with the black pigment and the pure lacquer had been painted alternatively over 2 times, and that the wooden lacquer ware had been manufactured through total 5 times of being painted.

  • Excavated lacquer wares can be divided into waterlogged lacquer wares supersatuated with moisture and dry lacquer wares with little moisture. This conservation was done with dry damaged lacquer wares excavated from Daho-ri. Lacquer ware artifacts with lacquer fragments and no surface material remaining were processed using the three following methods. The three methods are reinforcing while sustaining three-dimensional form; reinforcing with earth after cleansing so that fragments are revealed due to weak lacquer fragments; and reinforcing the whole lacquer ware or parts by connecting and supporting missing parts with rayon paper, an artificial fiber paper, if the form cannot be sustained only with lacquer fragments.

  • When percentages of the component of raw lacquer were changed by adding each components that is urushiol, polysaccharide and glycoprotein, the physical properties of refined lacquer were changed and the period of refining also were changed. When polysaccharide component extracted from raw lacquer was added in raw lacquer, the period of refining was shortened about 1/3 times and this refined lacquer film was dried faster than the refined lacquer which was not added any other components. When urushiol extracted from raw lacquer was added in raw lacquer, the transparency of dried film was improved. A case of Guizhoushang was improved of the tensile strength of dried film. When both urushiol and polysaccharide were added in raw lacquer, the drying time of refined lacquer was shortened and the tensile strength of them also was improved.

  • The raw oriental lacquer produced in China was used in this study. This lacquer was diluted with ethanol and terpene in different solvent ratios. The diluted lacquer in the solvents had two layers. The upper layer was solvent soluble and the lower contained precipitates. Hanji was treated with the solvent solubles and the mixture containing precipitates, and then properties of the Hanji were evaluated. The average weight, thickness, and density of Hanji treated with oriental lacquer tended to gradually be decreased as the lower concentration of lacquer was used and as the solvent soluble was treated. Tensile strength of the treated Hanji decreased when the diluted lacquer was used and Hanji treated with terpene dilution at the ratio of lacquer to solvent of 1:5 (v/v) showed higher tensile strength than ones treated with ethanol dilution. The folding endurance decreased as the less concentrated lacquer was used and the highest value was obtained when 1:40 (v/v) of lacquer to solvent ratio in both ethanol and terpene mixture. Absorption ratio was higher in the Hanji treated with ethanol mixture, treated with the lacquer in lower concentration, and treated with ethanol mixture. Hanji treated with ethanol dilution at 1:20 (v/v) and the lower ratio of lacquer to solvent showed a hydrophobic property. Amount of the bound dye materials tended to be decreasing as the concentration of lacquer became lower and it was higher in Hanji treated with ethanol mixture than with terpene mixture.

  • The purpose of this study is to make a functional Hanji treated with an oriental lacquer which has various functionalities. The raw oriental lacquer produced in China was used in this study This lacquer was diluted with ethanol and terpene in different solvent ratios. The diluted lacquer in the solvents had two layers. The upper layer was solvent soluble and the lower contained precipitates. Hanji was treated with the solvent solubles and the mixture containing precipitates, and then properties of the Hanji were evaluated. The oriental lacquer consisted of 25.04% of water, 60% of urushiol, 3.13% of nitrogen-containing compounds, and 5.66% of gum. The pH of oriental lacquer was 5.3 and the viscosity was 1680 cP. The average weight, thickness, and density of Hanji treated with oriental lacquer tended to gradually decreased as the lower concentration of lacquer was used and as the solvent soluble was treated. Tensile strength of the treated Hanji decreased when the diluted lacquer was used and Hanji treated with terpene dilutes at the ratio of lacquer to solvent of 1:5 (v/v) showed higher tensile strength than ones treated with ethanol dilutes. The folding endurance decreased as the less concentrated lacquer was used and the highest value was obtained when 1:40 (v/v) of lacquer to solvent ratio in both ethanol and terpene mixture. Absorption ratio was higher in the Hanji treated with ethanol mixture, treated with the lacquer in higher concentration, and treated with ethanol mixture. Hanji treated with ethanol dilutes at 1:20 (v/v) and the lower ratio of lacquer to solvent showed a hydrophobic property. Amount of the bound dye materials tended to be decreasing as the concentration of lacquer becomes lower and it was higher in Hanji treated with ethanol mixture than with terpene mixture. Color of Hanji treated with the solvent diluted mixture was Y to YR-type, whereas that of Hanji treated with raw oriental lacquer was Y-type, terpene
