Inlaid (integration) is one of the craft techniques.
The elephant is "kaduru" and the fitting means "fitting", which refers to a technique that fits a different material into one material. There are goldwork, woodwork inlay, pottery, etc.
It is said that the goldwork inlay was born in Damascus, Syria, and was transmitted to Japan during the Asuka era via the Silk Road.
In the Edo period, many craftsmen were born in Kyoto and other places, and waved their arms in Japanese sword preparation, armor, mirrors, nedges, sentences, and heavy boxes.
Not only metals, but also colored wood, bone fragments, shells, ceramics, etc. are used.
