Making
Like all our pieces, this one is made by hand in natural plant lacquer inlaid with eggshell, using the rankaku technique: the shell fragments are laid one by one, then covered with about four coats of lacquer and pigment, each wet-sanded, before a final polish. Craftsmanship in detail

Care
The surface is unvarnished: it keeps the natural depth of the lacquer and can be repaired by simple sanding. Like any noble material, it only asks for a little care.
