Abstract
The Maki-e technique with eggshell powder is one of techniques of Japanese traditional Urushi (Japanese lacquer) crafts. However, this technique is relatively new in the history of Maki-e, and there are no prior researches in terms of materials, structure, and properties. In this research, therefore we have aimed to evaluate the relationship between the eggshell powder sizes, dispersion, and color shade in Maki-e with eggshell powder. The difference between hen’s and quail’s eggshell characteristics and the effect of their powder particle size on appearance of eggshell Maki-e were discussed on the basis of the results of the particle size, circularity, particle number, and RGB value. As a result, it was found that the occupancy of the eggshell powder on the surface depends on not particle number but the particle size, whereas the whiteness of both eggshell powders depends on the particle size.
Highlights
As the worldwide current state of Urushi (Japanese lacquer or lacquer) research as a material, polymer science and chemical analysis is main research field [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

Summary
As the worldwide current state of Urushi (Japanese lacquer or lacquer) research as a material, polymer science and chemical analysis is main research field [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. There are few research reports which are focused on the painting technique of Japanese Urushi as a craft. Quail’s eggshell are generally used for expressing the white as a one of the Urushi crafts techniques. In a general creative process of Maki-e with eggshell powder, the eggshell is put on the surface painted with the Urushi This method is called “eggshell powder Maki-e” and can make it possible to express the various white degrees and impressions by changing the particle size. The effects are discussed on the basis of the results of particle analysis, circularity, and occupancy on the surface of the eggshell Maki-e substrate
