Shibayama is a highly intricate Japanese inlay technique (zogan) that originated in the late Edo period (mid-19th century) and flourished during the Meiji period (1868–1912). It involves inlaying materials such as mother-of-pearl, tortoiseshell, abalone, coconut shell, bone, ivory, horn, amber and coral (among others) into a base of wood, lacquer, or ivory to create 3D, multi-coloured and textured designs.
