The Art Behind the Craft: Da Qi Lacquer Painting
Among the most striking guitars in the donation are models featuring coatings created with China’s intangible cultural heritage technique, lacquer painting (Da Qi).
This traditional art form has a history of more than 7,000 years and represents a beautiful blend of culture, craftsmanship, and patience. Each finish is unique, giving these guitars both visual depth and artistic meaning.
