Japanese Lacquerware - Meticulous Craftsmanship Asian lacquer trees produce a unique, natural sap that is unmatched by modern imitations. The sap's strength makes their products both highly durable and water-resistant. Human use of this lacquer sap has a history that goes back to the Stone Age, when it was originally utilized as an adhesive throughout Asia. It is the Japanese, however, who were first to recognize its inherent beauty and who first introduced its use into their craftsmanship. Makie is a Japanese gilding technique that adds a three dimensional quality to images on lacquered surface. Makie's meticulous craftsmanship and its elegant finishing are what gave lacquerware its original name as "japan" or "japanese". Ryu Series - Dynamic Brushwork The bold brush strokes on the Ryu series represent the dynamism of dragons flying in the air. It is expressed in this modern motif by using the Makie techinque, a technique exclusive to Japanese lacquerware. Ryu series creates a synthesis of traditional beauty, the contrast of black and gold, with dynamic beauty, enabled by the brush strokes.
