In the "Maki-e" tradition, lacquerware is created by painting tree sap onto treasured objects and sprinkling them with metallic powder, such as gold, silver or copper, to create luxurious designs. Showcasing dramatic black and gold vines, this Paperblanks Karakusa journal features the image of an antique 19th-century Japanese lacquer box selected from a private collection in Kyoto.
