An artist engraves a motif by Wajima unique "Chinkin" technique
on "Shu"(red) lacquer surface.
After that, an artist imbeds "Sumi"(charcoal) to the lines instead
of gold.
Nakaya calls this technique not "Chin-kin", but "Chin-koku.
"Chin" means "sink", "Koku" means "black".
The point engraving like "Chin-kin" is also engraving on a curved
surface so that difficult technique,
however, line engraving like "Chin-koku" cannot be allowed to fail and a very high skill is demanded.
The product this time, it's base color is "Shu" and line is black(charcoal), however we can image (The 3rd.
picture's one.) a different base color with different color of lines for
a different motif.
This product has decoration (carving) for not only a cap and a barrel,
but also on a grip section.
Though Nakaya rarely mentions about a price , we offer you a special price of $1,000 though the quality is high.
Please read a picture under about an explanation of a motif. ("Housoge")
You can have a look at different pattern of ths artworks such as 'platinum
line with green base'. , 'gold line
with black base' ,and so on at other pages.
