It is probably the first gallery in Hong Kong which brings together lacquer masters and artists of diverse cultures, blending the traditional with the contemporary to showcase variety in the discipline.

Since 2012, SOIL has devoted most of our efforts and resources to the design and research of this art form.

Akito Akagi said, "The celebration of Japanese New Year is different from Western celebrations, as it is laden with meaning and tradition. During the New Year dinner, lacquered dishes are used for serving various delicacies. These lacquered dishes are known as osechi (お節料理); served in a set of Lacquered boxes known as jubako (重箱), there is a rich history to each cubby and its layout. The jubako are used to serve New Year bento, and the beauty of the lacquerware enhances the meaning of the eating experience.
