Course A allows you to choose from seven types of small items, Course B allows you to choose from four types of slightly larger items such as coffee cups, and Course C includes a round tray. Please bring your desired design (rough sketch) on the day. Sample designs are also available. You can take the finished product home on the day.
Maki-e lacquerware is a symbol of wealth
The jet black vessels decorated with gold powder have a luxurious finish. "Maki-e" is a technique in which a pattern is drawn with lacquer (synthetic neo-lacquer is used in this experience), and then gold powder is sprinkled on top just before the lacquer dries. This causes the pattern to emerge in gold. "Maki-e" is called "maki-e" because the picture is drawn by sprinkling (sprinkling) gold powder. It is said that owning maki-e lacquerware was a symbol of wealth for Heian aristocrats.

A veteran craftsman will explain in an easy-to-understand manner.
