Delve into the exquisite art of
xiushi, where objects are transformed through the application of lacquer and intricate decoration.
This comprehensive book spans over twenty chapters, each offering a unique insight into the world of
xiushi. From the early discovery of lacquer to the intricate techniques developed over eight thousand years, the author weaves together historical narratives and craft-making stories.

xiushi, highlighting techniques such as
tuohuo (relief carving),
tianqian (filling and inlaying),
qianluodian (mother-of-pearl inlay),
feijin (gold leaf application),
