Bamboo meets daqi lacquer

A finish that
follows the hand.

The weave comes first. Then the lacquer, rubbed by hand across the surface of the fan. The raised bamboo catches the light; the spaces between the strips keep their shadow.

The result is a deep red finish with the texture of the material still at its heart.
