In Maki-e, designs are drawn with lacquer using a special brush. Then gold foil, gold and silver powder are sprinkled or stuck onto the design. This careful and time-consuming process is repeated many times to give depth to the designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinkin is the technique of decorating lacquerware by carving the designs into the lacquered surface using a sharp chisel. In the next step, gold foil and powders are inlaid into the carved design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Pelikan fountain pen models “Cherry Blossom” and “Autumn Leaves”, the Maki-e artist has harmoniously blended both techniques.
