Mokume-gane (木目金) Mokumé,
which means “wood grain,” is the term used for a Japanese metalwork technique which combines and manipulates a metal laminate of different colored metals (gold, silver, copper, and other alloys) to create the appearance of wood grain. The pattern results from punching through the metal layers and then compressing them into a single plane. After the forming, an oxidizing process called “pickling” was used to bring out the colors of the different metals.
