Description
Makie is a unique Japanese lacquerware art, and is one of the most popular hanko styles in Japan. This style began during the Nara period (8th century). Patterns are drawn in lacquer, then powdered with gold, silver or tin, and then colored powders are gently sprinkled over the patterns to add color and dimension, as if sowing seeds. The “Maki” in “Makie” means to sow, a reference to this action.
The main body is made from the horn of the Asian Water Buffalo.
