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.

Yuji Okado

I use motifs of natural scenery that I've seen in the mountains or by the sea which I have been moved by for my designs. I create my artwork with makie techniques as well as my original ideas, using raden (mother-of-pearl), gold and silver powder, and other various material.
