<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kyoto1975, post: 4498585, member: 77250&quot;]I don&#039;t have too many good pictures. I will show from time to time. This ojime is one of the most liked. Still not my favorite piece. The meaning, connotation, symbolism of some pieces is so extensive that a book could be written on a simple Ojime. Think that in the past Japanese artists and craftsmen did nothing if a good reason, without an essential reason, nothing could be defined as beautiful if it was not practical at the same time.&nbsp; </p><p>This is an Ojime made with the shibayama technique, from the 19th century, Meiji period. It is made of marine ivory inlaid with many different materials, mother of pearl, amber, green jade, buffalo horn, etc. signed Kosu[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
