Engraving is done one by one by hand from the board and line. Engraving is a technique used to make sword guards in ancient times. A metal engraver was also called an ornamental craftsman. Since the era when swords were no longer used, the techniques have been passed down to buttons, furnishings, traditional crafts, and accessories. There are also paintings that partially incorporate metal engraving techniques. Our accessories are partly made using this technology.
