Maki-e, an art for the soul Book by Danitrio

Excellent

A book for all enthousiasts of urushi / maki-e. Highly recommended. In this case, by a goke-collector (bowls for the stones used in the game of go, also known as weiqi or baduk).

Hope there's no quiz!!!

I have not yet had a chance to read the book cover-to-cover, but in my brief review of it, it is very detailed. Rather than just showing magnificent photos of magnificent pens, it goes into detail of the actual execution of different Maki-e techniques, including diagrams. This makes one appreciate Maki-e pens so much more.
