Makie(蒔絵）Sticker

She is our guest from USA.

Can you see what she is holding on her hand?
Do you know what it is?
Well, it is a mobile phone. Everyone knows it.
No,no,no, it's joking. I mean what sticker is on her mobile.
It is called "Makie(蒔絵）Sticker".
Makie(蒔絵）is a decoration of gold and silver powder on the surface of household items, furniture and building interior.
This gold relief lacquer was originally used as a means of expressing power and nobility among court nobles, military leaders and royal family.

Though she bought it, she didn't know how to put it on her mobile.
Because instruction of it is all Japanese. Also it is transfer sticker.
So she came to the reception to ask me how to put it and i helped her.

This is her mobile after i put on the sticker.
It looks cool, doesn't it?
Would you like to have it?
If you would like to buy it, come to Kyoto.There are many shops you can buy a cool Makie Sticker like hers.
Actually, i also would like to buy it. so i'll go to the shop soon!!
