, also known as "Japaning" in the UK, is a Japanese decorative craft used in the creation of lacquerware and woodwork, though it can be applied to metal and other surfaces. The basic underpinnings of raden consist of variously applying the cut linings of mother-of-pearl, abalone, ivory, and other shells into the surface of the target lacquer or wood. ==Techniques of production== There are many ways that raden is produced, with all techniques classed under three main categories: ''Atsugai'' (using thick shell pieces), ''Usugai'' (using much thinner pieces), and ''Kenma'' (the thinnest application of shell pieces). In ''Atsugai'' raden, the shell is often cut with a scroll saw, then finished with a file or rubstone before application. In ''Usugai'' raden, the thinner shell pieces are usually made using a template and a special punch. ''Kenma'' raden is fashioned similarly to ''Usugai'' raden. Methods of application are varied. Thick shell pieces may be inlayed into pre-carved settings, while thinner pieces may be pressed into a very thick coating of lacquer, or applied using an adhesive and then lacquered over. Other methods use acid washing and lacquering to produce different effects. Raden is especially combined with maki-e, gold or silver lacquer sprinkled with metal powder as a decoration. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
