Sailor Ebony Maki-e Collection |

|
Maki-e is an ancient Japanese art that combines intricate lacquer painting with a variety of surface decorations. These traditionally include powered gold and other precious metals, gemstones, mother of pearl or abalone shell. This 1200-year-old art form was created to embody the harmony of man with nature. Sailor Maki-e instruments are exclusively designed by commissioned Japanese artisans utilizing the rich Maki-e heritage of Japan’s Kaga region. Sailor, in honouring this art form, has chosen to offer only true hand-made Maki-e techniques including… “Chinkin”, which involves the application of small gold pieces into the surface of the lacquer, and “Raden”, the delicate application of fine shavings of abalone shell into the lacquer surface… Sailor proudly delivers the entire Maki-e collection to you in precious Ebony Wood with an 18 carat solid gold nib.
