"Maki-e" is a traditional craft unique to Japan. A typical technique of lacquer art is to draw a pattern on the surface of a vessel with lacquer using a fine brush, and before the lacquer hardens, sprinkle gold powder from above to decorate it. This time, we will introduce pendants and pierced earrings that utilize the technique of "Maki-e" sold by "Urushi Art Hariya".
