Kinma originated in Bagan, Myanmar. The technique was named after a fruit called Konkon, and it refers to a method of engraving and embedding lacquer. At first glance, the technique seems similar to the Chinese gold-inlaying technique. The main difference is that Kinma employs a variety of colors, particularly red, yellow, and green. Although traditional lacquerware is extremely time-consuming, the production of lacquerware was embraced by the Buddhist community in Burma, eventually evolving into a Buddhism-centric artistic culture. Japanese artisan Tamakaji Zokoku invented a unique Kagawa lacquer technique at the end of the Edo period by combining Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian techniques. Kinma is one of the five major Kagawa lacquer techniques.
