Hon'ami Kōetsu’s Lacquer Box

Origin
Hon'ami Kōetsu was born a consummate artisan, coming from a proud lineage of shogunate sword polishers and regularly recommended the Maeda clan on all choices stylistic, from paintings to idols. Kōetsu forged his own niches, specializing in calligraphy, pottery, gardening, lacquerware and even the newly developed tea ceremony.

Effects
Calligraphic symbols will flow out of the box like water, climbing over anything similar to how a hazy shadow grows and shifts. All the words form phrases that signify great physical beauty, applicable use or emotional affection. The script then burrows itself just under the surface and applies a layer of lacquer to prevent movement. All subjects will suddenly become more intrinsically graceful, having a calming presence that blends harmoniously with the environment. However, some alterations can occur at the expense of apparent flaws that reflected defining features.
