Bamboo tubes and soft brushes of various sizes are used for laying powders and drawing fine lines. As it requires highly-skilled craftsmanship to produce a maki-e painting, young artists usually go through many years of training to develop the skills and to ultimately become maki-e masters. Kouami Douchou (1410-1478) was the first lacquer master linked to specific works. His maki-e works used designs from various Japanese contemporary painters. Kouami and another maki-e master, Igarashi Shinsai, were originators of the two major schools of lacquer-making in the history of Japan.<br>Takamakie (or "raised maki-e") is one of the three major techniques in maki-e making. Developed in the Muromachi Period (1336-1573), the technique of takamakie involves building up design patterns above the surface through a mixture of metal powder, lacquer and charcoal or clay dust.<br>Another special kind of maki-e is togidashi maki-e, where a black lacquer without oil is put on the metal decoration as an additional coat.<br>2) SHIPPING COST<br>a) USA:  Airmail (<br>No tracking<br>)<br>US$15.8/ DHL Express mail US$24.0<br>b) ASIA, CHINA:<br>Airmail (<br>with tracking number<br>)<br>US$12.8/ DHL Express mail US$24.0<br>c) EUROPE, UK:  Airmail (<br>with tracking number<br>) US$15.8/ DHL Express mail US$19.8<br>f) JAPAN:  Takkyubin (with tracking) US$9.8<br>3) ABOUT SHIPPING METHODS<br>a) Airmail (No tracking) of JAPAN POST<br>Estimated Delivery time About 3-5 weeks<br>b) If Express mail (DHL, FedEx or EMS) is better for you, please ask us about shipping cost.<br>​4) PAYMENT<br>Only Paypal payment is accetable.
