Chus note
Kerria lacca is a small, parasitic insect that lives on some types of trees. It sucks sap from trees for survival and secretes sap from all over its body to make nests. The secretes have a resin-like profile and are used to dye teeth in some ancient Asian cultures, as well as to color food, fabrics, and many other fields. This high-value material is what makes the pink skin of Fish Sauce Doll.
