We really enjoyed the hands-on experience of creating a little plaque/coaster. It wasn't quite what I thought 'lacqer-ware' is supposed to be though, as I assumed we'd be painting more than cutting wax figures out. But it was fun nonetheless. The sensei was very helpful and has a sweet character.

STEP 1: 【Coaster Making】
In this experience, you’ll practice Tsuikin, a traditional Ryukyuan lacquerware decoration technique.
Note: Tsuikin is a unique lacquer art method developed and perfected in Ryukyu for decorating lacquerware.
STEP 2: 【Sketching】
On the thinly spread lacquer surface, sketch the design. Then, use a Tsuikin knife to make cuts along the sketched pattern.
STEP 3: 【Cutting】
Once the cuts are made, carefully cut out the pattern.
STEP 4: 【Decoration】
Attach the colored pattern to the item (coaster or accessory).
STEP 5: 【Completion!】
Finish by thoroughly rubbing with a glassing paper, and it’s complete!
Note: The lacquer applied to the item will dry and harden over several months. Once fully dried, the lacquer will adhere completely, ensuring it won’t peel off.
