【What is Maki-e?】
Maki-e is a traditional Japanese craft that has been passed down since the Heian period. It involves drawing patterns with lacquer, sprinkling gold or silver powder onto the still-wet lacquer, and then, once dry, applying lacquer to the patterned areas and polishing them. A single maki-e piece requires an astonishing number of steps and a great deal of time to complete.
