Cigar Piccolo ONE-EYED JAPANESE DEMON

The pen has been finished with Shu-roiro, and the part around the crack was heaped up with the powder made of dry urushi.

Again, we used Ginyuji technique (method of heaping the picture up with silver powder) for Dokkosho, a talisman used to keep evil spirits away, on the backside of the pen. The monster itself was depicted in Taka maki-e technique. All the details, including the direction of the gaze coming from the crack were carefully discussed with the client.
