Cigar Long DAIMYO PROCESSION　

This is a masterpiece of makie. It incorporates a highly detailed design.
The length of the traditional procession is at about 150mm in which 29 men, two horses and a kago (special palanquin used for carrying a daimyo) are drawn.
In about 2mm of space, a person’s face has been expressed in harigaki (engraving in lacquer with a needle), while in a millimeter space the string of straw sandals are drawn on their feet, bordering the outline in gold.
Each person’s face has different expressions, which makes the pen unique.
