蒔絵 (Maki-e) / lacquer work
The technique is not just writting letters or patterns. It is one of the Japanese Decorative arts.
Makie is a decorative method applied onto lacquer coated objects. Maki-e artists draw patterns or characters by lacquer, which is acting as a glue and sprinkle gold or silver powder on the aaplied area before lacquer becomes completely dried.
Bamboo tubes and soft brushes of various sizes are used for laying powders and drawing fine lines. As it requires highly skilled craftsmanship to produce a maki-e painting. To create different colours and textures, maki-e artists use a variety of metal powders including gold, silver, copper, brass, lead, aluminum, platinum.
