First, Togidashi Maki-e (Burnished Maki-e) is used; the background and scenery are painted with lacquer, which is then sprinkled with gold powder and sealed with Urushi lacquer. After drying, the surface is lightly burnished with charcoal, revealing the design underneath. Then, the main design is further rendered through additional use of materials like lacquer and charcoal powder.
