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