During the Tang Dynasty, many innovations were made in mirror casting. One of them, like the exhibit, is the treating of lacquered backs with gold and silver foils. In this technique, thin foils were first applied to a mirror’s back, which was then covered with lacquer. By carefully polishing off the thin layer of lacquer, craftsmen were able to resurface the gold and silver designs.

As a prototype feature, the Keio Object Hub uses AI (machine learning) to generate keywords for searches and filtering.
For the first launch, Google Cloud's Vision API will be used to analyze the images of each object and automatically generate keywords.
