*''Japanese'': 螺鈿 ''(raden)''
''Raden'', or mother-of-pearl inlay, is a style and technique frequently used in [[lacquer]]ware decoration. It involves inlaying or otherwise affixing onto the lacquerware object cut sections of abalone or turban shell, which have been ground to roughly 1mm in thickness, forming a thin shimmering rainbow-colored material. The technique is widely used throughout the East Asian region.
