蒔絵・妻恋草紅葉(つまこいぐさもみじ)

紅葉の文様は、1930年代から1960年代に国光会が手掛ける喫煙具や万年筆に使われ、日本の漆芸を国際的に知らしめた。金と朱で描かれた紅葉が漆黒に映え、控えめに絢爛さを表現している。

The maple leaf pattern was used for smoking goods and fountain pens created by Namiki from the 1930s to 1960s, by which the Japanese lacquer works was recognized by the world. Maple leaves in gold and vermilion are highlighted in deep black and moderately express the gorgeousness.
