[ Makie ]
Traditional decorating technique in which lacquerware is sprinkled with fine metal powder (generally gold and silver) to create gorgeous designs. Makie was originally developed for court nobles in the Heian period (794-1159).
[ Issai SAIJO ]
Gold lacquer master (known as a makieshi) from Osaka. Born 1937.
Saijo began making natsume (tea caddies), robuchi (fireplace frames), and other tea utensils at the young age of 18. He learned the art of gold lacquering from his father, Yōhō Okuzu.
Saijo refined his skills through active participation in exhibitions and events, leading to both a keener sense of art and a more extensive knowledge of his profession. His works are loved by tea masters across various schools, and have earned him many accolades over the years (including a special award from the Governor of Osaka).
In 1989, he named his eldest daughter Shizuka Izumi as his successor, and has been training her and other younger generations ever since.
