Craftsmen carefully assess the condition of the lacquer as they press the leaf by hand, then cut it into thin strips and twist it together. This thread is known as "Juhachikake (Daidaimukashi)" in thickness, and its gorgeous luster will make your work stand out. Perfect for creating exquisite pieces.
