Review

Thank you so much this time, Mr. Morita.
I was able to know the difficulty and depth of the Makie technique directly by listening to a careful explanation, which I cannot understand just by looking at the products of lacquerware usually.
There are a variety of designs that I can draw in Makie, then I would like to experience another design next time.
I had a fun time to feel in an hour and a half in no time and I wanted to hear more and more stories from him.
I will use the vessel made by the Makie experience at home. Price is 2,500 yen and it is very good cost performance◎!
