Chinkin is one of the decorative techniques used in lacquerware.
In chinkin, a pattern is carved into the lacquer surface using a blade, and then gold leaf or gold powder is pressed into these incised lines. It was once practiced in China, Thailand, India, and other countries, but in modern times, it is most commonly performed in Japan. It is particularly popular in specific regions of Japan, including the Hokuriku region with Wajima City in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Tohoku region with Yuzawa City in Akita Prefecture and Aizu-Wakamatsu City in Fukushima Prefecture, and in Okinawa, where Ryukyu chinkin is practiced. This technique is frequently used in Aizu-nuri and Wajima-nuri lacquerware. In some cases, pigments are embedded instead of gold leaf or gold powder. If no filling material is used and the carving is left empty, it is called "sukashi" rather than chinkin. The Chinese term for this technique is soukin (鎗金), also written as soukinkin (戧金).
