About Maki-e
Maki-e (meaning “sprinkled picture”) is a classical Japanese lacquer technique where gold or silver powder is applied to wet lacquer to create detailed and refined designs.
This highly skilled method reflects both artistic mastery and cultural depth.
This lidded owan is not only tableware, but also a display-worthy work of art rooted in the aesthetics of Japanese tradition.
Customer Reviews
I’m absolutely delighted with this beautiful bowl! The quality is outstanding and even better than I expected.
Shipping was very fast — it arrived earlier than estimated — and the packaging was super secure. I was especially touched to find the little origami cranes included, such a thoughtful and heartwarming detail. Highly recommend this wonderful shop!
