After the lacquer dries, it is polished and another layer is added using the special tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis process repeats many times until the pattern is built up. Each product coated with this lacquer is a one-of-a-kind item due to the intricate and time-consuming nature of the craft.
