The dragon is a divine and mythical beast. Since the legend of Liu Bang's birth in the "Records of the Grand Historian," it has been treated as a symbol of the emperor in China, representing strength, power, and career advancement.

The dragon's face and parts of its body hidden in the clouds are depicted on a mother-of-pearl shell with a luxurious touch. The traditional techniques used capture intricate details such as the eyes, scales, and dorsal fins. It's a beautiful piece with a dynamic dragon motif.

Wearing it on your cuffs might harness the rising dragon's luck and turn things for the better.

How about it as a gift for those who love Japan or for people from overseas?

【What is Makie?】
Makie is a unique traditional Japanese craft that originated in the Heian period. It involves drawing patterns with lacquer, sprinkling gold or silver powder before the lacquer dries, and then, once dry, applying more lacquer to the patterned areas and polishing them to finish. The creation of a single makie piece involves an astonishing number of steps and a significant amount of time.
