Experience the beauty of traditional Japanese lacquer craftsmanship with “Kaiki – Start of Season,” a unique amber pendant decorated with exquisite Urushi and Maki-e techniques.

Made from warm, naturally beautiful Lithuanian amber, this pendant features a striking circular design created with yellow-green Urushi lacquer. Within the circle, delicate patterns are carefully decorated using fine gold and silver powders, creating an elegant contrast against the warm amber.

The combination of the natural warmth of amber and the remarkable precision of Maki-e creates a piece of wearable Japanese art that beautifully expresses the feeling of the changing seasons.

The Beauty of Urushi & Maki-e

This pendant makes full use of traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer and Maki-e techniques.

A circle is carefully created using yellowish-green Urushi lacquer, and a fine decorative pattern is then created inside using gold and silver powders.

Maki-e is a traditional Japanese lacquer art technique in which precious metal powders are applied to lacquer to create intricate decorative designs.

The warm transparency of the amber allows the lacquer decoration to take on a distinctive depth and character, making this pendant especially beautiful when viewed from different angles.

“Kaiki” – Start of the Season

The title “Kaiki” means “Start of Season.”

The design, known as “Yukoku,” has existed in Japan for approximately 1,000 years and was historically worn by members of the Japanese nobility.

This ancient design has been reinterpreted through Maki-e craftsmanship on natural amber, bringing together traditional Japanese aesthetics and a contemporary piece of jewelry.

The combination of the seasonal theme, warm amber, and traditional lacquer decoration makes this pendant a meaningful accessory for those who appreciate Japanese culture and craftsmanship.

A Unique Japanese Amber Pendant

The natural warmth of amber gives this pendant a gentle, organic feeling, while the gold and silver Maki-e decoration adds a refined and artistic character.

• Japanese art and craftsmanship
• Traditional Urushi lacquer
• Maki-e jewelry
