The radiating petals are likened to the sun, symbolizing the "warding off of evil," and as it is also used as the Imperial crest, it symbolizes "nobility," "refinement," and "mental and physical stability." ◇◇ Gold Inlay (Chinkin) ◇◇ This is a highly skilled lacquerware decoration technique in which a design is carved onto the surface of the lacquerware, lacquer is applied to the carved grooves, and then gold powder or gold leaf is filled in and embedded.
