Book Hero thinking about your next read

A karakusa is an arabesque design of vines or branches and was a popular motif for creating lacquerware. This style, using gold powder sprinkled onto lacquer, developed during the Heian period and thrived in the Edo period, the era from which this design likely originates. Original Art: Maki-e tradition lacquerware box. Era: Edo or Meiji Period. Region: Japan.
