There is a polishing process in the Maki-e decoration making process in the Urushi crafts technique. In the Maki-e decoration technique, metallic powders are sprinkled on the surface of Urushi painting. After that, the powders are coated by another Urushi. When the Urushi is hardened, the surface of Maki-e is polished by a charcoal. Because this process affects a finish of Urushi crafts work, this research aimed to clarify the differences at the polishing process between the expert and non-expert. Time of polishing the surface of Maki-e between the two refreshing clogged charcoal, time of refreshing clogged charcoal, number of rotations between the two refreshing clogged charcoal and number of scuffing clogged charcoal times in each number of refreshing clogged charcoal times were measured in this research in the expert and non-expert. As the results, the time and number of expert were constant, but they were non-constant in the non-expert. Therefore, the expert can polish the Maki-e surface clearly, but the non-expert cannot do the same.
