In Japan, the damascene technique has its own technical characteristics and is called shakudo. This name comes from the dark background of the alloy.
Initially, katanas and armor were decorated with this technique. Images of flowers and plants, landscapes and various patterns were created by inlaying precious metals with alloy bases. And the blackened background was achieved with the help of acids.
