【What is Makie?】
Makie is a traditional Japanese craft unique to Japan, passed down since the Heian period. It involves drawing patterns with lacquer, sprinkling gold or silver powder before it dries completely, and then, after it dries, applying more lacquer to the patterned areas and polishing them. It takes an astonishing number of steps and a long time to complete a single piece of makie.
