Painting Lacquerware
Lacquerware is decorated
with several coats of
paint, a process which
must take place in a
dust-free room.

There is no place to
do this in the city,
so most artisans reside
in the countryside.

Touching before
completion may be
harmful to the skin,
but it is perfectly safe
once dry.
