What on first glance appears to be a flat uniform surface turns out to be made up of uniform sprinkles of gold powder in a matrix of pigmented urushi, polished to a low sheen.

The pistil is made by Nashiji (matt finishing) and sprinkled with gold powders. They float above coarse gold chunks in red pigment. A small bud on the barrel is heaped with silver powders and drawn with colored Urushi and finally sprinkled with gold powders.
