<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4019514, member: 18716"]Yes, carve and paint and inlay, in fact you see all sorts of decoration on this kind of item including some shibayama type work. I saw a video years ago about how they make the geometric patterns - they make them up as long canes and slice them up, quite fascinating. When I started dealing many years ago you couldn't give these items away, but they are starting to be appreciated now which is as it should be given the work that went into them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
