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.
Nobuyasu Watabe
I broadly use wood, bamboo, paper, ceramics, and dry lacquer as the body, keeping in mind the free creation of urushi art. Especially for ceramic bodies, I work on my own from forming through to firing, and in recent years have really enjoyed exploring this technique.
