Maki-e (絵 絵, literally: sprinkled picture (or design)) is Japanese lacquer decoration technique in which pictures, patterns, and letters are drawn with lacquer on the surface of lacquerware, and then metal powder such as gold or silver is sprinkled and fixed on the surface of the lacquerware. The origin of the term maki-e is a compound word of Maki meaning sprinkling and E meaning picture or design. The term can also be used to refer to lacquerware made with this decorative technique. The term maki-e first appeared in the Heian period. I am not a specialist in Japanese antiques, I can not find anything about this master any information is welcome!!!Very good condition-please keep in mind that you are buying an item over 100 years old and there will be traces of a past life!!!!Please be sure to view all photos carefully as they are included as part of the item description!I sell antique and vintage collectible stuff - unique items that have history, and may show signs of this - it's part of their charm. I try to describe any obvious faults as truthfully as I can. However, as most of my items are 100 years old, they will often bear the traces of a previous life. Please think carefully about bidding if you are looking for a pristine item that is as new. My passion is for beautiful antique stuff and quirky vintage items with a gently faded grandeur, so do consider this before deciding to bid.
