The Making of Kyoto Zogan Damascene 【京象嵌PV】

The origin of our company is the atelier of manufacturing the Kyo Zogan, since over 70 years, then it is one of our iconic item. Kyo Zogan is called as a Damascene in English.
Kyo Zogan is a traditional Kyoto handicraft created by carving cloth-like weave inlay into a thin sheet of iron, then inlaying pure gold and silver design onto the texture, applying lacquer over it, and finally engraving with fine lines onto the gold and silver patterns after polishing them.
These process which need extreme concentration and delicacy produces the elegance of Kyo Zogan.
弊社のはじまりは京象嵌を製造するアトリエであり、京象嵌は開業以来70年以上にわたって当社の代表的な商品として愛されております。
京象嵌は、鉄の薄い板に布目とよばれる細かな溝を入れ、その溝に純金・純銀の文様をはめこみ、上から漆を塗り、磨いて浮き出た金銀の模様に陰影を入れ、仕上げた京都の伝統工芸品です。
大変きめ細やかな作業ですが、それゆえ、京象嵌ならではの優美さをご堪能いただける作品が出来上がります。
