Although lacquer is used in many Asian cultures, carving lacquer is unique to China. Lacquer is the resin (or sap) of a family of trees found throughout southern China. It is a quickly fading art form, with fewer and fewer skilled artisans continuing the craft. Cinnabar is said to attract abundance in wealth and support altruistic businesses.
