Kyoto lacquerware is rendered durable with multiple coats of the base coat, middle coat, and top coats, with inspections performed using a strict checklist at each stage. For the final inspection, each maki-e piece is checked for subtle unevenness in coating, brush stroke prints, tiny pieces of dust, and more.
