Damascening is the process of inlaying typically, gold/silver strings, into an oxidized steel background to produce intricately beautiful scenes. Amita originated in 1932 ceasing operations, in 1942, due to WWII, then starting up, again, in 1946, in Kyoto. In 1947, Amita Damascene Factory changed its name, to Amita Damascene Co., Ltd. The company continued to expand its business, into the 2000s.
