The Chinkin 沉金(Gold Inlay) Technique Chinkin (Gold Inlay) is a technique in which a surface is coated with a Roiro lacquer finish and designs are carved on the surface lacquer with a special carving chisel. Precious metal lead and powder are then inlay in the cut patterns. This style features a fine and delicate finish combined with powerful high relief expression, The Chinkin technique yields great expression in subjects such as the texture of bird feathers and result in extremely realistic designs. Therefore, Chinkin is considered a leading Japanese traditional lacquer ware technique. The Chinkin technique has long history. It originated in China where it is known as “Soukin” and began in the Sung Dynasty (960-1279). In the early Ming Dynasty, it was considered to be the most advanced lacquer ware technique (1368-1644). The “Soukin” technique arrived in Japan during the Kamakura Era (Circa 1281-1385) and artifacts were made during the period of Northern and Southern Dynasty (1330-1393). Wajima lacquer ware Chinkin artifacts were made by Gorobe the Carpenter in the Edo-Kyouho era (Circa 1716-1735) using “Soukin” technique artifact as a reference. The carving technique in the Chinkin method include Tenbori (dot carving), using a concentrated group of dots, Senbori (linear carving), employing concentrated lines, Kosuribori (rub carving), using one corner of a flat chisel blade. By skillfully combining large and small dots, think and thick lines and harder and softer tones, fine delicate works with powerful high relief, deep perspective and rich texture are achieved. Unlike the Makie technique, the Chinkin technique involves carving and not coating, and so once the work begins, it cannot be corrected even if an error is made. Therefore, mistake cannot be made. Each touch of the carving of the carving chisel requires intense skill and concentration. Unlike painting techniques, a highly advanced technique is required for Chinkin work on curved surface such as bowls and Natsume tea caddies. Consequently, the artisan needs extensive experience and inner strength. In addition work using the Chinkin technique can only be achieved by artist with immense strength of mind and outstanding skills. Chinkin is the ultimate supreme technique.
