When making lacquer ware, you first use sandpaper to smooth what you are using as a base. Then you start applying the coats. After each one, you've got to polish. Each piece requires anywhere from several to several dozen or even several hundred layers.
漆器的製作，先用沙紙將胎體磨平，然後開始上第一層漆，每上完一層都要打磨，視漆器需要上數遍到數十遍的漆，甚至數百遍。
