About the Artwork
I designed auspicious patterns on the vessel. On the top of the lid is a "qilin", a Chinese legendary creature, and around it are clouds rising towards the sky.

Techniques Used
Maki-e
Maki-e (literally “sprinkled pictures”) is a representative lacquerware technique that originated in Japan around 1,200 years ago. Maki-e is done by painting lacquer motifs on the surface of a piece using a fine brush and then sprinkling gold powder onto the lacquer before it hardens, producing luxurious decorations.
