Concept

Earth at Night is showing the most condensed version of the traditional Wajima lacquerware technique, completed by technicians from eight different departments (bowl wood, curved wood, woodworking joints technique, magnolia wood technique, lacquer technique, roiro technique, Makie - gold lacquer and Chinkin - gold inlaid lacquerware technique). All the masters of each department have demonstrated their skills to the fullest. The magical sphere represents a beautiful night view of the earth, floating in space. The deep black color, which can only be reproduced by the lacquer technique and the light of the earth, is made by the gold glitter of Makie - and Chinkin technique.
