Raden Material Display
Our studio selects mother-of-pearl materials of a quality far superior to those commonly found on the market. We primarily use Turbo marmoratus (夜光貝) and abalone. If clients have special preferences, they may also specify other types of mother-of-pearl for inlay.
The following image shows the luster of the abalone shell used in our studio.
