AMANO Lacquer Glass Ware / 天野漆器

At the heart of Amano Shikki's collection lies the art of aogai-nuri(青貝塗), a technique that brings to life intricate motifs of landscapes, flowers, and birds through the delicate inlay of mother-of-pearl, known as raden(螺鈿). Each piece, from lacquered trays to decorative boxes, showcases the luminous beauty of abalone shells meticulously sliced to just 0.1mm and set against the deep, polished black of lacquer—a process requiring unparalleled precision and skill.
