Launched in 2016, this Namiki Emperor Dragon features a dragon, a symbol that became associated with wealth, fertility, or success in some Asian cultures. The magic ball (cintamani) carried by the dragon allows its possessor to make their dreams come true. This masterpiece combines some of the most recognized techniques of Japanese masters. Taka maki-e is used to accentuate the presence of the dragon, while raden is used to create the sparkle of the dragon ball and other ornaments. Finally, togidashi maki-e is the technique that adorns the background. The artisan behind this piece is Mamoru.
