Hi, I have always wondered if Lacquer is expensive? What is for example the price for 1 liter of the Lacquer?

[@donkeystonky5362]

Yes, especially for Japanese origin lacquer. A tube of 100g is typically about $50, and that's for stuff that may not even be of Japanese origin, as about 90% of urushi used in Japan is imported from outside Japan.
