Review & Description
A favorite motif seen in Japanese decorative arts, this graceful butterfly, embossed in gold, is adapted from the design of a tray within a late nineteenth century Japanese lacquer box that once held poem cards and other stationery items. The unknown artist rendered a striking design of exquisite butterflies in maki-e lacquer. The range of colors achieved in this example is characteristic of the revival of maki-e technique sponsored by the Meiji government that was spurred by the demand for Japanese lacquer in Europe and the United States as a result of the international expositions in Paris (1867), Vienna (1873), and Philadelphia (1876). Flexible bound journal has a decorative gold-stamped emblem on the front. Inside are 256 lined pages with a ribbon marker waiting for mementos and thoughts. Journal is 4 3/4 x 6 5/8-inches. Look for matching Correspondence Cards. Always send the right message with a delightful selection of signature holiday cards, correspondence cards, and notecard boxes, along with calendars, address books, pens, and notepads, featuring artworks from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
