Metiers d‘Art - Takamaki
Takamakie or "raised maki-e" is one of the three major techniques in maki-e art. Developed in the Muromachi Period (1336–1573), the technique of takamakie involves building up design patterns above the surface through a mixture of metal powder, charcoal or clay powder and urushi lacquer.
