Maki-e is the elegant and traditional Japanese art form of drawing designs and patterns on black lacquerware, often sprinkled with gold or silver as part of the design. The 18th century saw a boom in the number of maki-e craftsmen, resulting in higher competition and, thus, immaculate designs to outdo one another. The exhibition “The Maki-e Masters: Their Edo-period Flowering” showcases some of the finest masters of the time.
