'Maki-e is a Japanese lacquer technique where the design is drawn with lacquer;then a metal powder, such as gold or silver, is sprinkled over the wet design; abd finally the design is fixed by covering it with layers of lacquer.
In this exhibit we trace the development of the design, technique, and form of maki-e through the numerous treasures on display. We hope that all the Museum visitors can fully enjoy the splendor and refinement of these works'...
The Tokugawa art museum , located in Nagoya, opened in 1935 and is supported by the Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation of Tokyo. The collection holds more than 12,000 pieces including: swords, armor, Nou costumes and masks, lacquer furniture, Chinese and Japanese ceramics, calligraphy, paintings from the Chinese Song and Yuan dynasties (960-13680, and Heian period (704-1185) scrolls of the Tale of Genji.
*The Tokugawa clan was a powerful daimyo family of Japan
Japanese lacquer has a certain affinity to the art of painting in that some of these craftsmen gild in a special way the finest examples of this work in the discovered world. Using pure gold powder, they paint various objects in which they set flowers made of gold and silver leaf and mother-of-pearl.
In other words, some lacquer work resembles painting in that it incorporates pictorial imagery; it differs from painting in depicting the images with precious materials.
Even if you don't understand Japanes,you'll enjoy this book throug many photos.
Softcover cover Size approx 22.6cmx29.6cm

If you are interested in Japanese lacquer,this book would be a great collection for you!
