In addition, a prominent characteristic of the Makie series brushes is their beautiful handles.
These handles will take your breath away with their traditional Yamanakanuri-style lacquer. (Yamanakanuri is lacquer ware produced in the Yamanaka onsen area of Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning back over 400 years. To make lacquer ware, woodworkers firstly saw the wood, and then lacquer painters paint the wood with lacquer. Lacquer ware from the Yamanaka region is characterized by the quality of wood used, and its production volume.)
Handled with care, these brushes'charms only increase with time. Furthermore, they are handmade one by one by expert craftsmen, so no two handles are alike. You will surely be deeply touched by their uniqueness, and the love the craftsmen have put into them. There is no doubt that your Makie series brush will become precious to you.
The MK-1 brush is decorated with Red peony blossoms. You can’t help but be filled with wonder when you see the dazzling beauty shown by this lacquer.
