Mokumegane 木目金
- The 17th century Japanese metalworking technique -
Mokumegane fuses several layers of differently coloured precious metals together to form a sandwich of alloys called a "billet." The billet is then manipulated in such a way that a pattern resembling wood grain emerges over its surface.
