  • Maki-e: A Japanese Lacquerware with various kinds of Gold Powders

    What is Maki-e?

    Maki-e is one of the lacquer craft techniques that originated in the Nara period (710-794). Since the Heian period (794-1185), maki-e has been used for furnishings and Buddhist ritual utensils of aristocrats, and warriors and is a traditional decorative technique that has developed uniquely in Japan through the culture of merchants and merchants.Generally, gold and silver powders or colored powders are sprinkled on the surface, and those combined with mother-of-pearl inlays are also included in this category.Even today, it is applied to bowls and other handicrafts, as well as small articles for Buddhist rituals and Sekku dolls, and is probably one of the most familiar traditional crafts for us.
