The delicately drawn and gorgeous gold and silver coloring is what defines Kyoto’s traditional handicraft, Kyo-Maki-e.
Maki-e is lacquer ware decoration technique in which design is drawn in lacquer, over which gold, silver or other metal powder is sprinkled while the lacquer is wet.
It has a history of 1200 years.
