[What is Maki-e?]
Maki-e is a unique traditional Japanese craft that has been passed down since the Heian period. It involves drawing patterns with lacquer, sprinkling gold or silver powder before the lacquer dries, and then applying lacquer over the patterned areas and polishing them once dry. It takes an astonishing number of steps and a considerable amount of time to complete a single maki-e piece.
