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…
