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.
