ABOUT NAJEON ART:
- What is Najeon Chilgi?
Najeon Chilgi is a traditional Korean art form that involves inlaying mother-of-pearl on lacquered wooden items. These items range from jewelry boxes to chests, dressers and desks, and they are considered to be cultural assets of Korea.

- What are the materials used in Najeon Chilgi?
The two main materials used in Najeon Chilgi are natural lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Lacquer is a resin extracted from trees that forms a durable and glossy coating. Mother-of-pearl is a material made from the inner layer of pearl oysters or abalones, and it has a shining and iridescent beauty.

- How is Najeon Chilgi made?
Najeon Chilgi is made through a complex and meticulous process that consists of more than twenty steps. The process can be roughly divided into five stages:
1. Pasting hemp cloth on the surface of the wooden frame to make it smooth and sturdy.
2. Coating the surface with several layers of lacquer to create a pitch black background.
3. Spraying powdered ox bone on the surface to enhance the adhesion and brightness of the mother-of-pearl.
4. Inlaying the patterned mother-of-pearl on the surface to create various designs and motifs.
5. Repeating the lacquering and polishing until the surface is smooth and shiny.
It takes 3 to 6 months to complete a single product of Najeon Chilgi.
